Trip Report

Just like spring. Lot of water and mud. We started from from upper Summit Rd trailhead. We hiked on the power line road before dropping down to the usual road we hike on. We cut off from this road at the first left hand cut off we came to. This led us into the south portion of Wild Iris Ridge. There are several old roads in this area. We did one loop that lead into more open country and back to the main road. We continued on the usual trail back to the car. There are still unexplored roads to be checked out but I can see that it is possible to had a little more mileage to this area.
