| no partners | | It has been warm enough lately I thought I could hike above 10,000' once more this year before winter. While everything looks like winter minus the snow, it was pretty mild for late November on Heliograph. Then again, for being about 600' higher than Wrightson, it was cold compared to last weekend. I was in shorts there. Here, I had on some layers. It might be nice to snowshoe on Heliograph or up the High Peak Road, if there is enough snow this winter.k
I also wanted to see about the trail work. Well, despite claims, the trail is not open all the way to the Noon Ridge. Close, but there are a couple hundred feet which remain thorny and are as they were in summer; terribly overgrown. Most of the trail has been opened up above this, but there is still a lot of locust and currents with thorns in that one section. Otherwise, no changes.
Also, the gully crossing remains. No new trail or improvements, so expect to use the rope, if you attempt this from Arcadia. |
