 | Comments: |
Loop hike beginning just after the gate, up Gunstock first, over to Belknap, and then Piper. Book describes it as 4.7mi., 1850 ft., 3:15 time. Had a lovely day with periods of clouds in the beginning and bright sunshine later on, actually feeling hot. There basically is no snow/ice on this entire route except for a few small patches on Saddle and Blue Trails. Lots of views in various directions along this route. Not too much standing/running water or crazy mud either. |
