Tarbell Loop & Silver Star Mt. 8/7/11

Post by wood » August 11th, 2011, 7:08 pm

Started at Rock Creek Campground and went along the north loop of of Tarbell tr. to Hidden Falls. Took a detour up Silver Rd. (er, washout) and went up the south ridge to Sllver Star Mt. Went back down the south ridge and took the Grouse Vista tr. to tie back into the Tarbell. Went up to Larch Mt. and took south loop of the Tarbell back to Rock Creek Campground.

The flowers were spectacular!!!

24 miles/5300' gain
