12 miles of hiking • 2750' elevation gain •
Any trip to MSH is special but I really enjoyed this trip. Nice forest hike. Interesting terrain. Incredible scenery. Crazy weather front that rolled in and bombarded the summit with thunder and lightning for half an hour. Perfect. Except for that last part of the Blue Horse trail that -- despite starting out wide and clear -- ends in massive doug fir blowdowns and is overgrown to the point of being unusable. I suspect there is a reroute at some point that I missed.
