 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Barnjum Road is a real rough ride to the trailhead. Altogether it is similar to Caribou Valley Road. 4x4 pickup recommended but SUV can pass carefully. Some pretty tall rocks though! There is a cairn in side of road where an old logging road splits and heads up to your left towards the peak. This is the trailhead. Can park on side of grassy clearing/.road here easily. |

A grand adventure today with James (5 years, 4 months), Margaret, and their dad completing the NE67! Thanks Mom for accompanying us as well!!! Most exciting part of the day was driving into the trailhead. Real rugged and exciting! Climb up is rather easy to the ridge, then it is very rocky. Great views. Ominous clouds but we continued on the 3.5 miles to Spaulding. Passed the 91-year old through hiker “Greybeard”. Amazing stuff. Tagged Spaulding for 67/67 and booked it hoping to make it over Abe again before rain. No such luck! Got real cold getting off the summit but we all survived and it was a real good adventure to cap off a crazy month of camping and hiking with the fam. |
