Went up AT to Bemis Peaks 1 and 2. Went beyond that about 1/2 mile for the open ridge walk and then descended into woods. Returned same way to roughly .2 miles east of the Bemis Peak 2 summit, turned right and started the bushwhack, which led to a series of logging roads. Eventually ended back up on the Bemis Track about 1/2 mile south of the AT trailhead and walked north back to the car. No exciting wildlife sightings today, but weather was fantastic and views were abundant from the AT and several points along the bushwhack and logging roads. |
