This summit area is popular with dirt bikers and firearm enthusiasts. My activation was punctuated by the whine of two-stroke engines and semi-automatic gunfire. Not very relaxing. Too bad, because in a more peaceful environment this would be a nice spot. I guess there should be a place for everyone’s preferred recreational activity.
A perplexing array of marked and unmarked roads make finding the trailhead challenging. I would have no trouble driving a passenger car here, your mileage may vary.
Radio conditions were again difficult.
