| no partners | | | Great morning for this hike. Since I was under some time constraints and hiking solo, I opted to explore the ridge rather than go all the way up to the summit. Rather than employ the posted GPS route, I drew my own using a satellite image and topo map. As you might suspect, the trek up the south-western slopes of the ridge provided fantastic exercise; but, fortunately the trail along the ridgeline is easy to find (in places the ridge itself is no more than 30 feet wide). My return route was down the ridgeline but toward the south-eastern end the cairns disappeared forcing me to navigate amongst lots of loose rock. As I made my way back down it became apparent that the slope is subject to constant weather erosion as rocks and dirt in many areas appeared new to the neighborhood. Even the faint game trails looked as though they were only recently engineered by the "Wildlife Construction Co.". Nevertheless, this is a "must do" hike with terrific views, solitude and a chance to spot the wildlife down below. |
