 | Comments: |
I had the intent of just wandering the Blitzer Easement trails, but decided to pop up to Knights Hill. This approach is somewhat steep in places but never difficult. Nice foliage colors on the lower slopes.
Just like the last visit, I poked around on top, visiting the multiple contenders for highest point (all off-trail). The outlook where the summit spur ends is not the high point, despite the sign and cairn. The view is pretty meager these days as the tree growth fills in. |
