Comments
Comments: Blazing would be fantastic on upper pine link, cairns were hard to see @ times, some knocked over

Fairly strenuous loop, well worth it. I really enjoyed the scramble on Daniel Webster, the one across the cone of Madison on Pine Link much less- I am not a side hill supporter. I would strongly recommend doing this wet, or the day after rain. The views were unbelievable- pics and post below.
