 | Comments: |
We found the trails in good condition considering the amount of rain lately. No standing mud and not much running water.
Our intent was to ascend via the Hi Cannon Tr. and descend on the Kinsman Ridge Tr. We had not intended to take the Dodge Cutoff but missing signage and a blowdown across the Hi Cannon Trail seem to guide us that way. So we ascended via Lonesome Lake Tr and Kinsman Ridge tr. doing the hike in the opposite direction. We almost took the Dodge Cutoff again on the way down the Hi Cannon Trail but realized the mistake right away.Fantastic day out with Grumpy Gran. We both ended up liking our climb up the boulders and the way down the ladders very much. |
