The trail is blazed in yellow and the blazing was somewhat regular if I remember correctly. Some cairns above tree line as well. I don’t recall any blowdowns. Leaves obscure the footbed but not hard to follow below treeline. Could be a little tricky on the ledge though. |

Sure. Ledge can be steep but no deal scrambling involved. If I recall correctly, it was on this hike that the smell of dog scat was rather obnoxious. |

Day 359, Peak 357. I’d been here before when redlining but it was years ago and I wanted to revisit to make sure I’d hit the highpoint. No rain but the trails were still very wet, the ledge slick, and the peak in the clouds. I never seem able to get views from this one! Only minor pooled water on the trail. The highpoint is just above where the trail goes on a ledge on the eastern side of the 2000ft contour on Gaia. Gia had me at about 4.5mi with 1400ft of gain. Took me 2hrs to complete. 6 more days and 8 more peaks to go… |
