 | Comments: |
Thanks to pressure applied by Parks Director Phil Bryce and State Senator Jeb Bradley, hikers are again allowed to hike to Mittersill Peak (at least during the off season).
Mittersill-Cannon Trail is marked with rebar mounted blazes, blazed ledge, blazed trees, and a few blazed cairns. Trail was generally dry, with the exception of the very bottom and an area on the Ravine ski trail. Generally good footing (especially on a section of Mittersill trail that was not ripped up by the state a few years ago) with the exception of some actively eroding areas (due to machine usage). Also saw some mountain bike tire prints.
Top of the trail is very confusing, as there is a rope across it with a sign saying hiking is prohibited (even though there is a painted cairn within sight of it).
Fantastic foliage colors on the lower half of Mittersill. |
