 | Comments: |
Parked at WD trailhead and followed Brown Ash Swamp Bike Trail up to 1200 feet, toward Dickey Notch. Before the 2 small ponds, there is a piece of blue flagging, on the Cone side of the trail, that marks a great spot to start the bushwhack up to the col between Cone and the smaller sub-peak to the northeast.
Snow is GONE.
Trace snow. Only ice that you had to be cautious with was on Brown Ash. Bare-booted the entire way to Cone summit and back down, intermittently following prior boot tracks. Always a fun shwack with a killer view. |
