Description:
This trail is one of my favorites. There are excellent views of the peaks from several spots along the route and usually many wildflowers. In the first 1.4 miles, the trail switchbacks up through the forest for over half of the total elevation gain, then arrives at a viewpoint for a well-earned break. The trail then traverses 1.7 miles up through meadows of bracken and wildflowers to a junction with the summit trail. If the summit section is passable, we will proceed about 1 mile, ascending a forested ridge, traversing the top of a steep meadow, and picking our way up through a rocky ridge to a broad, grassy summit. If the summit section is not passable, a broad, rocky overlook a bit farther down the main trail will be a great place for lunch. The trail is narrow and rocky in places, and there may be some blowdown to maneuver around, so bring poles if you use them. Our pace will be steady but relaxed, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the fine wildflowers and excellent views of the peaks. I may reschedule if poor weather is in the forecast.
