We began the bushwhack about 1.3 miles from High Street at about 1,800 ft. The first 3/4 of the hike was not a difficult whack. During the final 500-600ft of gain to the summit we ran into thick woods and a few patches of blowdowns that were difficult to maneuver around. There was some ice and slush, more on the way out. No need for traction. Wandered around the summit for a few minutes before we located the canister.
We found a better track on the way down, one spot was a little sketchy to descend. We came out at around 2,100 ft with an additional .5 ish miles of road walk. There were some great and unexpected views on this hike. |
