I noticed a drastic difference in comparing a couple of my photos to Joe's photos from '01. The confusing trail junction he describes, with 4-5 trails splitting off, was pretty easy to figure out. There now only seems to be two options: go up Drew to the Rim, or continue on the Highline. Not sure what happened with the other trails. The gate and much of the fence is gone too, as is most of the signage at the junction (compare my 5th photo to Joe's 10th/11th). The top section seems to have lost a fair amount of trees too - the 2 upright posts in the lower center of my 6th photo correspond to the same posts in Joe's 19th photo. Much more open now than back then. Still, all in all a good hike with very few people on it that day. The middle section was nice - would be great with the colors still on the trees instead of on the ground.  |
