 | Comments: |
This was first time on Rowe's Revenge. It certainly gets down to business and is quite steep near the top. Not so much a trail as a road the whole way. There were a few wet and muddy spots.
The Bypass was a little slippery in places with mud but not too bad. Ridge Trail was fine. My turnaround point was the ledges south of the summit of Rowe.
I closed the loop by walking back to the gate via Alpine Ridge Road through the campground. Along the way, I spotted signs for "Wetland Walk" and a boardwalk. I like both of these things so I decided to check it out. That was a nice bonus for the day. |
