| Hike: Very nice
loop
on a warm day. We parked at
the bottom and hiked up the dry south-west side. It is a popular area, there are several
trails. With few detours, we arrived at the top where
there are facilities: an outhouse, some picnic tables and a launching
platform. We returned via the back (east) side, where we encountered
lots of
snow. The steep descent on compacted, slick snow was treacherous and
funny at the same time. We passed the road and upper trailhead to
continue our descent on the eastern ridge; (yes, it is possible to drive
within a very short distance from the top). Soon we regained dry ground
and resumed this excellent dog walk. |
