Used golf course bushwhack. Seemed easy enough to follow but it’s not marked super well ["bushwhacks" are not marked]. Seemed like a lot of pink and blue tape but not really placed well or consistently. Trail up was good until around mile 6.5 near a junction. The straight option seemed crowded in and so we veered right where trail seemed more open. It was not. Blowdowns became impassable about .25 from top. We turned back due to turnaround time. Consider going “straight” at intersection where it appears narrow with a tiny piece of flagging tape on a blowdown— that trail could be better… we didn’t have time. |
