Plans

Expedition

Unsure of the best way to go, we decided to park near the summit. After climbing to the summit for the amazing views, we began our descent into the forest. Switchbacks upon switchbacks followed, and eventually we left the trail to go bushwacking. We came across a cliff, but we found a safe way around, and ended up in a marshy area. The hashpoint was nearby. Also nearby was a road! Google Maps, with their limitless knowledge, had no idea that the road was there. It made for a better walk back then blazing another trail through the brush back up the hill.
