Description:
This trail is one of my favorites. There are excellent views of the peaks from several spots along the route and usually many fine 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 this section is passable, we will proceed about 1 mile, ascend a forested ridge, traverse the top of a steep meadow, and pick our way up a rocky ridge to a broad, grassy summit for a lunch-with-a-view. The trail is narrow and rocky in places, and there may be some blowdown to maneuver around, so poles may be helpful. Our pace will be steady, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the wildflowers and views. I may reschedule in case of poor trail conditions or weather.
