This was a surprisingly quick hike to get this 2900’ nameless peak. (I learned its name once I found the jar.) I left the skid path with the annoying water bars at 2500’ and bushwhacked in good woods curving NE up to the peak. On the way back I hit thick steep woods trying to go in a straight line, but simply curved north again to avoid that. There was almost no hobblebush or fern, which was nice for a change to see my feet. |
