Decided to go up the Loop Trail in a counter-clockwise direction. At the viewpoint sign, we started our bushwhack headed toward the highpoint. We skirted the first bump initially then hit it before crossing almost level to the second. Hit an unmarked trail which we followed before realizing it was taking us in the opposite direction from our goal. Backtracked and headed back through woods to the RHP, which is on a large boulder/ledge. Jar was in one of those trees that seems to grow right out of the rock! Signed in, and headed back to the Loop Trail. Finished the loop to get back to our car. Good hike in time to beat the rain! |
