| no partners | | Decided to check this one out as a late-afternoon/sunset hike. Didn't go to the TH as described in the description here on HAZ, just parked at a pullout on the main road just south of the turnoff for the lava tubes. A short walk through the ponderosas and then a nice meadow opened up. Took the northwest ridge up. It was pretty steep but at least it wasn't super loose. Popped up right by the little hoodoo valley. Checked it out for a couple minutes before taking the trail out to the south summit. Nice views out there! Saw the old jeep road coming up the south slopes. Headed back to the hoodoo valley for sunset action. I really wanna come back and hammock camp up there sometime. Headed down as the sunset faded. I was paranoid about walking in circles in the woods after dark trying to get back to the car. Found it pretty easily though. It got dark pretty quick in the trees, so I was forced to use my headlamp. Haven't had to do that in a long while. Great hike, and what a lovely area. |
