 | Comments: |
Trail mostly dry, wet areas easily navigated. Two miles of flat approach, then rocky ascent. Exposed ledges and great views from about the 3 mile point onward. Be prepared for some rock scrambling at the final approach. Take care when returning - I nearly took the red-dot trail back down, looking down at my footing rather than up at the signage. Be sure you watch for trail signs on the return! |
