 | Comments: |
Long road walk to (and from) just before pond but can be done quickly and on a good day is pleasant enough. Herd path up is straightforward between the few well placed flags, the herd path itself, and bit of periodic checking on topo along the way, just to make it feel somewhat like a bushwhack. Definitely seems a good way to do the S/N Crocker/Redington trio whichever direction you take it. Agree with comments that Redington is 'trailless' by the slimmest definition. |
