Comments
Comments: Well went for both the peaks because why not, not my first time either. Did it the same way as last time. The normal route up mendon then came back down to the sled and took the logging or ski road to a drainage where there was a cup and a red top? Then whacks to the Long trail until it started to go down and then we turned into the woods again to whack to the top. Soon i to the whack we came upon a trail of sorts and followed that right to the med shack! And crazy but the gondola and summit food/beer cart was open with mountain bikers everywhere! So we relaxed with a beer and a seat until hitting the top and heading all the way down! 6 hours including an hour on top to relax, not a bad Saturday!
