AT in fine shape from Bemis Track to about 1/2 mile west Bemis 2 summit, where I turned around. There was a fine bushwhack/herd path that heads southbound from an open area 1/4 mile east of Bemis Peak 2 (someone recently flagged it in blue & pink). This whack, combined with a couple of log roads, made a fine loop.
The bushwhack has been obliterated by new logging activity below 2500 feet. What once was a pretty herd path on an overgrown log road is now a maze of new roads and very thick slash. |
