The Lamberts Ridge Trail is one of the most picturesque ridge walks with plenty of views on bare granite. Joyce had remembered it correctly !!
Be sure to check out all the wall writings at the Ranger Cabin, and climb up into the tower for views all around. The Ranger Trail is rough up high
and wet down low, and not as scenic as the Lambert Ridge, although it is quite nice lower down by the river. |
