So it just ended up being Bob and me for a pretty nice day on the peaks.
I had done Schultz, Doyle, Fremont, Agassiz, and Humphreys already this year, so it was nice to knock these two out too.
I promised crunchy snow not more than 6" deep, so when we were post-holing above the knee, I picked up speed to stay out of earshot. It was breezy on the western aspects, but for the most part a nice day. After taking the Bear Jaw trail to Waterline on the ascent, on our way down we skipped the trail, crossed the road and headed straight down toward the trailhead. Some of the nicest forest was seen in here, though there was one very brief stretch of deadfall hell.
It was great to be up here with the early season snowfall and a really nice weather day in November. No 20s on the way in, but the truck did show 30 a couple of times. I think it was 42 when we started and 53 at the end.
It was good to hike with Bob again and return to some of the old haunts he was among the first on HAZ to do. |
