Also on this hike
Spectacular view but the first (and last) 2 miles were brutal due to all the downed trees and obviously lack of tree cover. I’d do it when the forest service has a chance to clear some of it out. Definitely bring trekking poles.
I keep hearing that the downed trees are no joke this year. I’m going to reach out to the Forest Service and see if they have any schedule for clearing.
