 | Comments: |
Muddy trails and slippery rock on most of the trails. The worst was Wylie Ridge and Tom Spur. You could get around it pretty easy most of the time but its not unavoidable you will get good and muddy. The tails get narrow in quiet a few spots on the ridge especially near the summits and branches stick out so watch your face/head. Avalon is very steep I highly recommend acceding and not descending. There are virtually no views from Tom, Wylie, or Field a few look outs with some great views. As you climb turn around occasionally and you will get some great views that way as well. We didn't get to see the view on Avalon because of the cloud cover (Its on the 52 so I'm sure the view is beautiful) |
