 | Comments: |
This is actually our second ascent to Cube, but the first from this particular trail. I liked this approach better than the AT one from the north. Rougher, but more scenic forests and a fun ledge climb to the summit. Not that busy either, as most of the day hikers just stopped at the outlook 1.5 mi in, and mostly they-hikers at the summit.
Met some fellow 52 WAV hikers that we met at the top of Table mountain, so a big shout out to them! When doing the list, you only need to go the south summit for it to count, but you’d be doing a huge disservice if you ignore the north peak, which I thought had equally nice, if not better views! Overall, a fine day on this interesting peak. |
