| Comments: |
Ankle deep leaves covered the loose rock on the trail, care must be taken. Hemlock campsite seems to have a new privy and a picnic table.
From the campsite the trail went straight uphill, no switchbacks. The open, grassy summit was lovely in the sun. TCT and Berlin Pass Tr had lots of loose rock, easy to twist an ankle! All in all, excellent blazing on all trails, and clear signage at any intersection. |
