 | Comments: |
Trail had some slick spots (wet rocks and old leaves) within the first 3/4 miles, and some deeper mud, but otherwise dry and in good condition, and indeed a steady up.
No flowers down low, but approaching the summit there were scads of bunchberry and blue bead lily in flower.
Views were obscured by haze/smoke today, presies were not super clear in the distance. Nice view of Percy Peaks nearby though.
Two cars on arrival, four people up top when we hit the summit, all locals to the area.
A nice tucked away little mountain. |
