10 miles of hiking • 4000' elevation gain •
This was sorta a bust.
The original plan was a loop starting up Nick Eaton Ridge, and then taking Casey Creek trail back to Herman Creek. Fairly simple. Unfortunately, there was enough snow on top of the ridge that I couldn't find the CC trail intersection. I hiked up and back a fair amount to see if there was a sign, flag, marker, anything to denote an intersection, but nothing. I guess I'll have to come back from the other way and bring some flags with me.
This was also the first time I've done >3000' EG without poles . . . my legs were definitely feeling it the drive home.
