Comments
Comments: We left a car at Gale River trailhead and got dropped off at Skook. Thank you Shirley. We put on raingear just before treeline due to heavy fog and mist, but we never got any serious rain. The rocks were very slick and required full concentration. No views except for an occasional break in the fog. Instead of views, the beauty of the day was in the quiet moss covered forest. It was a long day, and another redlining adventure with a great friend.
