| the hike |
The first part of the hike is mostly trail we follow a cow path.
We will take a short break at “L” for a scenic overlook
then down to the creek.
As we follow the creek we’ll see an arch to the west before
reaching a huge cave.
The return portion is exploratory. We’ll pick our way along the planed route to “E6”. At that point we either hike to Peak 4053 or take a more direct route to“E10” after evaluating remaining daylight and energy level of the group. Poles and gloves always a good idea, along with sufficient liquids and lunch. |
