 | Comments: |
Did an overnight to grab Owl's Head. Went Lincoln Woods out to 13 Falls Tentsite. The weather was a little wet, but the trails weren't bad and the water crossings were very manageable. The next day the trail was very muddy and at times hard to get by with blowdowns. The slide trail is awful with a full pack, but doable. Maybe think about stashing it halfway up to reduce your load a little. There is a sign at the bottom warning of bears and not to leave your stuff unattended. I did not like this mountain solo and will do it again, but only with other people. |
