11.5 miles of hiking • 3000' elevation gain •
Apparently I don't pay much attention to nor learn from others' experiences. After several dead end attempts to find the Sedum Ridge trailhead, I eventually bushwacked straight up the ridge for several miles before bisecting the actual trail which I had by now assumed was lost to time. In hindsight, a prior trip report from Pablo mirrored my same findings/frustrations -- a TR I had read, of course. The trail itself is in remarkably good condition and a little maintenance work would go a long way in extending the life of this trail. The pic of Mt Hood with Greenleaf Peak (pretty sure, maybe not) in the foreground was taken from the upper end of the PCT.
