Ascent Trip ReportWent here solo on a cool day. Hiked from Black Mountain Campground, I'm unsure if the park was closed, but there was NOBODY else at the peak which I love, I didn't even see anyone on the way up. Not the clearest days so there were nice, but not great views. Near the top there was some ice so I had to wear Yak-Tracks for traction. Hiked down via Deep Gap and Colbert's Ridge, I did see 3 groups along this portion of the hike, but still felt secluded. In all hiked about 16 miles, someone picked me up on the road and took me to my car. |
