Kim, Gwen, and I
headed up Highway 2 to do a little bushwhacking. We had all done East
Beckler Peak. This time we went to the West Peak. Not bad if you like
walking logging roads. We followed the road to the end and then
continued up on old trail. There are some views on top, similar to
those from the east peak.We went a little farther before turning
around. It was a very nice day with few bugs. No snow left at all. Some
wildflowers were in bloom. I know folks who have done this as a winter
snowshoe trip. The ridge is not too steep. The old lookout is long gone.
It was no surprise that we did not see anyone all day. The east peak has some parking and a very nice trail. Both have parts on old roads. It is always fun to hike a new route and this was no exception. We all managed to draw a little blood. Not unusual for old unmaintained routes.
