 | Comments: |
Trail was dry except for the minor perpetual mud around the installed stepping stones. Vestiges of a monorail appeared midway up the long straightaway and stretches of full, stable monorail covered the trail leading up to Signal Ridge but not beyond. Much of the monorail could be avoided along its side. Overall, conditions were ideal.
Great hike with Chris in weather and conditions that made the hike seem shorter than the 14 miles. We were entertained by boreal chickadees in the woods below Signal Ridge. |
