| partners | | Not wanting to drive 320 miles RT for a 10 mile hike, I needed to find something else for a second hike to make the trip worthy.
Woody Mountain fit the bill. @Jim_h has done it off trail from the east, @azbackpackr on FR 231C from the north and @Sredfield on FR's from the west. I found and decided to try some new trails that started at Rogers Lake.
Two Spot Trail and Gold Digger Trail are well worn tracks through mixed pine and hardwood. These trails alone, would make for a great family hike, complete with a Ramada for a picnic. Part way through the Gold Digger Trail, we took the FR to the Woody Peak LO. At the top of Woody was the currently unmanned LO, a newer vault toilet, a locked building, a rustic shower and other assorted items.
We started down and it was a steady drizzle all the way to the Truck.
Highlights for me were Rogers Lake (Meadow) which is almost 2 miles across, Aspen Grove Ramada, and the Woody Mountain Lookout. |
