Bolan Mountain

Post by derwoodynck » October 11th, 2023, 4:18 pm

I should have mentioned this with update on Tanner Lakes but I did this hike while I was down there too. I would recommend adding a "Lost Hike" designation to the Bolan Mountain page. There doesn't seem to have been any maintenance since the Slater Fire and I couldn't find the start of the trail at all. I wound up heading directly uphill until I came across the faint tread. The tread was very faint and I needed to use the GPS a few times to re-find it (no flagging). There were also a couple of sketchy sections, one where most of the trail had given way and the other was a steep detour below a mass of blowdown. I wound up walking down the service road from Bolan Mountain rather than trying to follow the trail back.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Thank you!
