| no partners | | Midday hike. Looking for something short on the north side. It’s been a few years since my last visit. Got to the park a little before noon. I didn’t have much of plan except to summit the ridge. Every time I come I feel there are more trails crisscrossing the slope. I had options to the top. Beautiful day. Clear views all around. Views from the top hadn’t changed much. The biggest change is that the quarry to the east is being filled in. This is my 6th or 7th time in the area and I don’t recall there being any action in the quarry on my visits. Today, there was nonstop truck activity, dumping dirt and debris. I’m betting that the quarry pit has come up over 10 feet since my last visit.
This is an easy climb, but a sketchy descent. The granite slopes are often time slick and can easily lead to falls. Followed some use trails to the south for a short stint just to get over 2 miles. The parking lot was packed, but only saw 1 other person on the mountain. No wildlife. |
