Pablo went hiking May 30, 2015 6 miles 2,000 feet gained
Hiked up the ridge east of the Starway Trail. The ridge is divided into forest down low and rocky ridge above. The forest part was pretty easy to navigate and there is an east/west use trail at the bottom to help get started. The rocky section is a little tougher with some large boulder fields to navigate and one cliff band to figure out (I did a nice steep gully). There is a 2-300' band of mountain alder and vine maple to negotiate just before the final push to the 3977' point. After that it is bear grass meadow. Great views once out of the woods and of course at the 3977' point. Closed the loop with a return on the Starway Trail.
