 | Comments: |
We took the Livermore Trail to the south end of the Mt. Tripyramid Trail, climbed South Slide and traversed over South, Middle and North Peaks, descending by the Pine Bend Brook, Scaur Ridge and Livermore Trails. South Slide was dry and snow-free, except for a thin layer of the graupel falling as we climbed. The monorail appeared as we descended South Peak and continued on and off (mostly off) to North Peak. More monorail/white ice covered sections of our descent on the Pine Bend Trail down to 3800' or so. We wore rock spikes from South Peak until the monorail subsided below North Peak. The Scaur Ridge Trail was in great shape as was Livermore Trail, except the one blowdown.
Today's was a rewarding hike with Chris and Renee in changeable weather and reasonable trail conditions. Wildflowers line much of the route, including painted and red trillium, bellwort, wood anemone, trout lilies, spring beauty and smooth white and round-leaved yellow violets. Hobblebush and rose twisted-stalk are budding. We saw three people all day. Two of them were headed to the Camp Rich site via Kate Sleeper, so that route should have gotten some traffic. |
