 | Comments: |
Bethel side of Caribou Mountain.
First portion of the trail was a grass road walk. Thereafter, the trail was progressively less roady. Mud patches were frequent. Poles helped with balancing acts on rocks/stumps/logs to get by them.
Surprisingly, not a single person on any of the summit ledges at noontime under blue skies. Just as I sat down to perhaps have a snack, I realized why - there were black flies and they had decided I was the snack. |
