The terrain was pretty tricky, so I wanted to make sure I had good footing and knew where I was stepping. I only use my phone without additional gear to record the clips and I was worried I would slip and lose my phone and/or injure myself. I’ll try to provide descriptions or diagrams in similar future situations.

Thanks for bringing back the memories of years past. I’ve done Pugh at least 6 times over the last 50 years. The last time I was 60. Even tried it in winter and got to the top of the glacier, it was bigger way back then. Once the road to the trailhead was closed which made it close to a 7000’ gain and added 2 miles each way. The bit of scrambling always made my heart race. Good times.

I’m not sure if this is the absolute best, but it’s gotta be up there. Another option that doesn’t require scrambling is Mt. Dickerman, which is also along the mountain loop highway. I still have more exploring to do, so I bet there are more options out there

@ThePaleHiker
@ThePaleHiker 5 ай бұрын
River crossing wasn’t too bad. The water level is low, and there are well placed rocks and logs that can be used to avoid getting wet. There are some cairns that are good points to follow. The path I took was generally straight across with no weaving or diagonals necessary
