Spectacular day at Silver star
Posted: October 20th, 2013, 8:55 pm
I left this am with the intent on a quick trip up Grouse Vista, it was foggy and 37 when I left home. When I got to the Larch honor camp it was clear and the moon was glowing.
Had asked Will (Forestkeeper) to join me but they changed his work days. That's all right first solo hike I have had since Mt Mc Laughlin last July.
Up the trail it was in the 50's.
The little knob on the ridge is something I have thought about going up for a few years.
I took a old road and worked my way around to the south side of it.
It was a fun little scramble and not so hard.
I continued up the ridge and scrambled up a few more smaller rocks, you can see the north side of my first bumb had a walk up ridge on the north.
I worked my way back to the main trail in shorts the bushwacking was nicking my legs. And I saw some summer and fall along along the way.
Once I made the top the air was so clear you could see Saddle Mt, Goat rocks annd the 3 Sisters to the south
The 3 Sisters are showing with Jef in this shot.
Goat rocks.
It was a fun day only saw about 10 people and most were coming from Eds trail.
Very warm day in the sun I recorded a high temp of 80 on the way down in the last exposed sections of the trail.
