An absolutely breathtaking day above treeline. Well worth hiking on already tired legs! A beautiful trail ascends gradually for the first 2.5ish miles. A good climb up the wall to the ridge, but nothing technical. Watch out for slippery roots and rocks though! Ridge trail meanders through the trees and crosses a number of bog bridges (slippery) and finally pops you out above treeline. Some good mud up there, but not too hard to maneuver. A gorgeous hike! |
