| no partners | | Madera Peak was the goal and while I planned to hike up and around to it - my approach used the more road hike option—taking FR 580A to the locked gate
Tree fall made for an earlier trailhead than I anticipated which then made for an elegant hike to the towers and peak. I was actually glad as the longer route made for a nicer workout and engagement. Obstacles sometimes make for better opportunities.
White-tailed deer, Abert’s squirrel and woodpeckers for company, this hike up the road was sublime. Other boot prints leading out from the downed tree advised that others had encountered the same obstacle on the drive.
Views were lovely, with rain falling today, I expect a clear view all to the way to the Sierra Estrellas could be had.
Nice alternative for people looking for a slightly easier hike to the top. Or in my case, sprained ankle therapy pace. |
