Hey, hey!
Just hiked this trail with my friend over Memorial Day Weekend and had a blast. I’ve linked my trip report below. Some of which the type 2 fun shines through, but that is all hiking.
I thought Memorial Weekend was perfect. The birds as you can see in one of my 8 minute videos were in full force. We downloaded the Merlin Bird ID app and identified about 20+ species all singing to us all day.
I bet fall would be really nice too. I never backpack in the summer due to the flies. Shoulder season here all the way.
Definitely download Avenza map app on your phone… go to the store section, and download the Wild Map (TM) Snowbank Terrain map. It is PHENOMENAL, and you can use your phone as a GPS (the app is free and so is this particular map). It will drain your battery super quickly, so make sure to swipe the app off when not checking actively.
The trail is super easy to follow, and there are carins in the rocky sections helping you along the way. Reach out with any questions.
