Started heading WNW from the lot bearing north of the ridge. Woods were a bit scrappy near the lot but opened up soon thereafter. It remained that way as long as I stayed +/- 3100'. No significant issues heading up to Millen Hill. Dropped back N on the east side of the col and headed NW slabbing up to the SE ridge of Mount Dartmouth. Once there I followed game trails/herd paths most of the way to the top.
Lots of moose scat higher up...and as I approached the summit clearing I startled a giant bull moose resting right at the canister! Thankfully it ran away from me rather than toward me...and so I could sign in ;) |
