| Comments: |
Loved the loop heading up Manning and coming down Clark. The ascent was moderate, a few tough scrambles and rock slabs to get over. But this made the hike just challenging enough to be fun but not exhausting. Would absolutely recommend this loop. Coming down on Clark was one of the easiest descents I have ever done. And although the summit was crowded, mostly with camp kids, no one used Clark fortheir descent. Great day, great hike, gorgeous views, although a bit hazy. One of my favorite hikes. |
