| Comments: |
I made a little lollipop loop at the top by taking the Blue Brook Connector over to Black Angel Trail, then taking its top .5 mile up to Basin Rim Junction, where it meets both Basin and Basin Rim Trails. There is a nice view ledge .1 mile west of the Junction on the B. Rim Trail. I was surprised to encounter no one on these Trails on such a nice day, until I was nearly back and a few campers were heading up. |
