 | Comments: |
Finally did a full hike up this mountain (without driving halfway up and walking from there)! Light traction was good enough, but some spots are hairy even with it, especially going down. The last 0.4 mile could use some maintenance. Didn't see a single person the whole time. In fact, the only life I saw the whole hike was in the form of three deer.
Decent view from the observation tower, but mostly blocked by clouds. |
