Fantastic views today from the Middle Tripyramid summit and no great views from North,Tripyramid, but you can see the slides walking on the ridge and several other sights looking through the trees. The first 2.1 miles was not much elevation gain and very very minimum amount of rocks on the trail which made for a pretty fast time. On the way up once you hit the steeps heading to Norrh Tripyramid Summit it's relentless, steep and scrambling in a lot of places and and just when you've had enough, you pop out on the ridge to the summit and heading over to the middle was some scrambling in places going down as well as going up, but not too difficult and not too bad. Pine Bend is definitely a trail with a string mix of gentle and steep terrain. The trail was in great shape with no blowdowns and all of the many stream crossings were
easily rock hopped. Not a crowded trail, but enjoyed the solitude. Great to meet several hikers today on the trail. I enjoyed hiking with couple from Vermont from North to Middle summit and the talking with Christina comparing our hiking aspirations of the white. |
