 | Comments: |
Recent trail reports regarding S. Hale were spot on, and very helpful. We started the bushwhack just south of the ledge area on LAH trail (elevation 3400'), just south of the boggy area. Once we got through the lower brush, we entered more open woods and followed the ridge in a general south southwest direction to the summit. As noted in previous reports, several on and off herd paths could be located, but nothing covering the distance to the summit. We returned the approximate route we took to the summit. |
