 | Comments: |
I went up North and down South, which seems marginally preferable given the amounts of loose stone on each trail. Regardless, care must be taken, as the stretch with talus is like hiking on marbles. Really enjoyable hike otherwise, and I think the Hancocks have been undersold - there were pretty good views to be had. The hike in/out is just lovely. |
