 | Comments: |
Trails were mostly dry. Beehive Trail fun as always with the dramatic cliffs and iron rungs.
From the height of land climbing out of the Bowl, I did a short bushwhack to the wooded summit of Halfway Mountain (did not observe any summit markings), then bushwhacked to the southeastern ledges (nice views). I found occasional traces of herd paths, cairns, and fire rings, but otherwise did not see any evidence of regular use. Woods were a little scrappy in shorts, but otherwise open. |
