| no partners | | Finally made it to CO! Let's start this off with a bang. Day 2, hike 1. Easy drive, tough climb. Only had AT to go by. SMH Won't be the case for others now. 
Starts off moderate. Turns difficult. Grows rocky & steep. Then climb through a boulder field. Ah, this is the scrambling they were talking bout. Turns overgrown and then hop on clearer trail. L at jct to go for peak.
Way back reach boulder field. Wait a second, there is a bail out trail! WTH was all that scramble talk on AT then?! Figures. Making much better time on the way back. Decided to form a small loop which only added a bit to AEG and bout .25 mile.
Yes you can make this easier than my route. Most surely will. May be a select few who will chose the wicked route. Adventures to continue... |
