| no partners | | | I met Dick in the Goldfields a couple of weeks ago and he suggested we do the 'back way' to the cave. I told him we could circle Fremont and do Robbers Roost as well. We joined to 'show' one another the routes that were new to us. We left a vehicle at Carney Springs TH and began the hike from Peralta TH. We climbed up Bluff Springs trail and exited on the 'Cave' trail. Before arriving at the Fortress, we left my previous route and moved between rocks and did a good deal of scrambling before coming to the Cave from the west rather than from the east. After checking out the cave, we headed for Fremont Saddle and up the west side of the saddle to the 'surfboard'. After the photo op, we went down into Robbers Roost rabbit hole for the first time and enjoyed that area. Then it was off to the Carney Springs saddle and down the trail to the trailhead. Great hike, but tough downhill for weak knees. |
