Fantastic hike of Vose Spur. It was nice experiencing the view of Mt Carrigain from the viewpoints of the Talus field. The herd path/bushwhack was mostly visible to follow. There are a few spots that have heavy blowdowns and going around and or over was difficult. The talus field is marked with a few cairns. I stayed right and eventually moved left to continue to the summit. Towards the summit there are many blowdowns and I found myself wondering if I would find the canister. I did. Great day to take a path less traveled 🙂 |
