We parked at the Pine Link Trailhead and walked down the Dolly Copp which was downhill the 2 and 1/2 miles to the Howker Ridge. Howker Ridge Trail was demanding, stayed on it to Madison, then down to the hut, then down to the car by the Pine Link. Pine Link was bouldering for the first mile or so, pretty steep, and wet, as advertised. We were glad we parked at the final trailhead.It was pretty cold in the morning, and the wind held up most of the day.Mosquitos and black flies were waiting for us at the car. |
