Accepted a nice invitation to go along. Thanks, Rocket!
a great early morning drive on Bear Notch Road... there's something special about seeing a beautiful deer in the early morning in summer...
It was a nice hike in Carragain Notch to some point near a boulder where Rocket said was "the place" to start bushwacking uphill, which is something I'm not really too fond of, but it was good company and I was hiking with other people for the first time in years and enjoying it. It's very pretty woods in this area and I occasionally wondered what wildlife we were scaring away or if there were any forest noises I was missing due to conversation, but it's time to turn a page and engage in group hiking.
We crashed through some thickish stuff until emerging on a trail that followed a ridge to the summit. We could hear the voices of another party. The trail goes through a nice tallus feild with beautiful views...
looking toward Signal Ridge...
a huge slot that I've seen from Signal Ridge...
Jeb and Raoul...
The other party caught up to us at the summit and they were nice to take other picture together.
On the way down we stayed on the ridge until the trail disappeared, then we were able to stay in hardwoods all the way back down to the CNT, a nice hike through lots of hobblebush.
happy trails
