I had never hiked from the Cross F TH before, so I decided to head up there today. We did an out-and-back hike from Cross F to Potato Patch back to Cross F. I had thought about doing the Black Ridge Loop, but I decided to stay on marked trails for a change.

The trails were in good shape, although it was a bit muddy in places. There was even some snow and/or ice on shady, north facing areas. As we neared potato patch, there was 2-3 inches of snow on the trail, again on a north facing hillside. Once you rounded the corner past potato patch into a sunny area, the trail was completely dry.

It was enjoyable day of hiking out there, although it got a bit warm on the return.

Synopsis
The hike was nice, but I miss the views from a summit!
