After reading a trip report for South Weeks curiosity got the best of me as I have never been there. Unfortunately the trail a group broke out to South Weeks has already drifted back in. I got started late today so with the extra time finding the trail beyond Waumbek and breaking trail I had to turn around at 3:30 without getting there. Actually there are lots of trail markings and I think a thru hike of the area is appealing.
The Star King trail is well packed and appears free of post holes at this time. There was some drifting in the middle third of the trail where the wind was being a bit frisky in the early afternoon. Beautiful sunset from Star King and all around enjoyable hike. I didnt happen to see anyone else on trail today. |
