| partners | | | Ascend Abineau Trail until you hit the waterline trail. From waterline intersection, go right through bushes and woods to find the valley heading up the mountain. Follow the rocky dry creek up to the large boulder area. We scrambled a bit and then connected back with the tree line going up to the ridge. Around 11,000ft MSL was a gravel slope of ~50 degrees but finding tree roots and rocks were helpful. Once you make it to the ridge at 11,700 you have a view of Mt. Humphreys. Head east along the ridge, scramble boulders, descend around 200ft through pines and then ascend again up to Abineau peak. On the peak there is an upside down glass jar underneath a pile of rocks to log your summit! Paper inside jar was soggy. BYOP. Descend north through the pines to meet up with the waterline trail. Took us about an hour to hit the trail from the peak. SOFT ground.. so nice on knees... squishy. Follow waterline trail west until you meet back up with the Abineau trail. Descend via the way you came up. We drank about 3L each with the flagstaff high of 85 degrees, clear skies, no wind. Wonderful wildflowers and butterflies along the valley in July. |
