Description:

Turn right at the sign for West Summit Trailhead and follow pay fee signs. I'll try to have my car in the row below so that it is easy for us to meet, sign up. etc. Depending on weather, I plan to take back trails (#4 and the steep #2) to the summit, avoiding the the crowded main trail #1. Mileage and elevation could vary but around 7 miles at a steady pace. Estimated time is 3 hours so bring snacks. We will divide into two groups if pace varies. Once we reach the summit, you have the option of going back down on the main trail or the less steep one. Suggest purchasing a year pass online from Friends of Buford Park since their volunteers help maintain the trails. Email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net if you have questions. (I decided not to hike the Ridgeline since there is big race.)

Trip Report

It was Millie's third trip and her membership application is ready to mail. We admired the blooming balsam root and avoided the plentiful poison oak.
