Comments
Comments: Had no idea what to except on the trail up to Fisher Mtn. I was pleasantly surprised with the trail. I can't believe this isn't an official trail. It was as easy to follow as any trail out there. It's well maintained, has orange blazes. I didn't make it to the actual summit. I got pass the first couple ledges and started to encounter patches of runoff that was still frozen from the previous night. These ledges are similar to what you would experience on Welch-Dickey. I had microspikes, but didn't put them on. I decided this a good time to have lunch and turn around and come back another day.
