| no partners | | | My synopsis is that the actual Little Mount Ord summit is a lame one-off of annoying bushwackiness, but FR 1688 to the turnaround is through very pretty, unburned Woodland biome. Just try to ignore all the trash and used toilet paper interspersed among the Columbine and Lupine. The ~1000 foot off-trail, cut across ascent between the summits wasn't as brushy as it looked, so that was a pleasant surprise. The Mount Ord from Slate Creek route is still quite boring and the only things going for that hike are the elevated AEG and moderate mileage. I still consider this mountain an acceptable training ground for other nicer hikes located in better areas. Two other pluses are that you'll have low chances of getting bit by a viper because most of this SubORD loop route is on roads and you won't need a 4x4 to access the trailhead. |
