| no partners | | Wow!! If your reading this and it's still the week of October 7th - 15th 2007, get off your computer and drive to Flagstaff NOW and complete this hike. Even if it is only to the Inner Basin the ASPEN's are in their glory and it may not last much longer with the weekend having frost lows. Excellent hike -- forested pines and aspens to start, wide open basin views mid-way, then a little cardio climbing to the saddle and then an all out scramble to the peak. Truth be told the views from the peak aren't significatly better than from the saddle. That said - having forgotten my hiking boots at home (right next to the door) - I did the whole hike and scramble to the peak and down in hiking socks and slip-in-sandals. No skin left on the little piggies, but if I can do it with beyond substandard hiking kicks -- anyone can make the scramble. This is a must do every fall. Great weather and the Aspens in yellow blaze - Fantastic. |
