The steep herd path to forist is blazed in orange. It was hard to find in a few spots due to leaf cover. Great views from forist. We used herdpaths, roads, and a short bushwhacks to get over to Jericho. There were people working at the summit, but we did not have any issues. It is likely preferred that people wait for wind construction to end before going up. We took roads down Jericho, getting very close to Sugar summit on the smitty's trail. A short bushwhack brought us to the recognized highpoint. We followed the trail out to Gorham. Trails were frozen today, but there was nothing slippery. Great views in this area. |
