 | Comments: |
Nice breezy day, so we decided to do an out-and-back of West and East Rattlesnake. Plenty of people on old bridle path (social distancing was not a huge issue but could be better), but saw absolutely no one on the way to East Rattlesnake. Cliff outlook was surprisingly uncrowded, but that might have been due to lucky timing.
I'm glad I made the extra effort to go to the east peak. It was a peaceful hike, and while the outlook there isn't as expansive as the west peak, it's still quite nice (and you have the whole area to yourself!). |
