 | Comments: |
I wanted to day hike closer to home, so I decided to tackle the Wildcat Ridge Trail from Glen Ellis Falls. I was expecting a very tough climb from all the descriptions I read, but aside from a couple spots, it wasn't that bad. Then again, what I consider difficult is very different from what many other people consider difficult. Great hike nonetheless, and I got to see the views I missed when I finished the 48 here last year! Lost Pond and Glen Ellis Falls were great, too!
Oh yea, the Ellis River makes a great spot to take a dip after a hike like this. |
