| no partners | | Another trip up to this cool area. My hiking buddy Jackson wanted to head up to see the views from the cliffs.
We arrived at the “trailhead” about 745am and discovered 6 other vehicles already there. I guess the word is out on this one now. A couple of groups started up at the same time as we did. We played a game of tag going up and then coming back down.
The weather was nice, but the wind was going pretty good.
The path on this one is a regular trail now. My first couple trips up here were off trail adventures, but there is now a distinct trail all the way to the base of Peak 3042. The logical route is to take the chute up to the plateau below the peak but always opt for an “end around” going up in stages along the western edges and then up.
The views up here are the draw, but the scenery is non-stop in the area too. Surprisingly lush and loaded with your favorite thorny plants, I love hiking here. We made to the canyon edge and then worked our way up to the plateau. We took a look at the short climb up to the top and opted to not go up this time. The fact that the wind was howling and gusts almost blew me off my feet standing on the edge taking pictures.
This hike is showing up in social media more and more now, so I can only expect more and more people to come out to see this area. Another amazing area about to become a victim of its own success. |
