Chris went hiking October 2, 2011 8.5 miles 2,750 feet gained
I took the ridge line up towards Cooper Spur, and then eventually headed back down to the trail before the shelter. I made another wrong turn and started up the lower ridge, when I realized that I would have to hoof it over up the hill. Snow started at 8000', and I turned around just before the "top"—around 8300'—because the sleet and wind were really picking up, and everything was turning into a giant cloud anyway.
Nice hike!
