| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
I believe the trail was blazed in blue. I don’t think there was much in the way of cairns on the ledges beyond one at the summit. Mostly blue blaze on the ledge and arrows. There’s a small sign where the trail enters tree line. I think there may have been a small blowdown down low?? |

5th and final redline of the day. This was a nice one to end on. Short and steep and with a great view! Some spots along the ledges were a little wet. I don’t remember any snow or mud though. The trail could be a little tricky to follow above tree line, especially on the descent. It looked like one family with a baby carrier turned around perhaps because they thought it was too steep. Nice chatting with a local for awhile on the ledges. Gaia said 1.3mi, 625ft of gain, 45min. I did just a little walking around at the top. |
