First section of Brunel Trail is very brushy. Quite a few limbed blowdowns on this route. One vexing blowdown near the Owls Cliff-Tremont col. |

 | Comments: |
Route was generally dry. A bit gravelly on the steeps on Owls Cliff and Tremont, making for a tricky descent. Some slippery rocks as well. Followed a herd path from the Owls Cliff view spur to the summit, but didn't see anything marking the highpoint. |
