Nice little trip up Gibson. Clockwise this time so I followed the ridgeline to the peak. There was a new set of pink ribbons to follow all the way to the top of Hill 5502. Beyond that was off-trail. Took a much better route through the brush than last time. This being an elk haven, I pretty much stuck to game trails. Enjoyed a nutrition break on one of the flat red rocks atop the peak. The views were amazing as expected, some of my favorites. I had total solitude today both on the peak and the trails, except for a hunter who was set up in the brush next to Tank #2. Both tanks had water still. Weather was clear, sunny and in the 70s throughout. I'm still surprised at the amount of solitude and wildlife sighting to be had on a hike that starts from the middle of a neighborhood street.
