Many out to get the Owl today. I opted for the traditional way, but came down Brutus. Most I’ve seen on these trails. Still lots of solitude & beautiful river views. Muddy in all the usual places. Only my 3rd time this way but this is a favorite hike. Flat fast trails, river crossings, plenty of spots to hang at rivers edge, then fun soul crushing climb! Only 1 other on top. We chatted had lunch & a beer. Nice meeting you Sam! Took a dip at last crossing on way out while refilling my water. Perfect weather for this hike. Finished my 4th round today! |
