 | Comments: |
Inliked the solitude of howker ridge. Loved the views of king ravine from airline. Scaur was recommended by a man with a hut pack---gorgeous! Ferny and mossy and just like he said--a fairy dwelling trail. Lower down valley way and randolph were good fast, soft trail routes to the car with water crossings for the dog. |
