AI told me I better get to the Pumpelly Trailhead between 7:30 and 8am to secure a spot. At 7:30 I was the only one there. When I got down mid-day, there were still quite a few spots available roadside. |

Good memories of this trail so I wanted to return. Large logged area first half mile or so, but trail is easy to follow. Super pleasant ascent. Near summit, I lost trail - there are fewer markers than you'd think. Coming down, after the big "pumpelly" painting on summit rock and big arrow, there are no other markers for a while, I had to go back uphill for next cairn - I got too far right. Descent was much slower for me - I had to throw poles down and scoot down a few of the rocks. Love the "castles" along the ridgeline as you go. Summit at just after 10am was getting crowded. Vast views. |
