Write Up:I would say that we all thoroughly enjoyed this hike. The
trailhead was a bit hard to find and we ended up doing a 500
meter warm-up hike down the Montane Traverse, but we quickly
turned ourselves around, and another group of hikers, and
headed in the right direction. We took our time going up and
coming down, and finished in just under 6 hours. It was quite
windy at the top and in certain open areas. The tea house was
in
fact taken down, however the helicopter landing pad is still
there
(which provided a bit of shelter at lunch time). We saw several
interesting birds during the day, including a Pileated
Woodpecker
and a Bald Eagle. However, even more fascinating was Mick's
ability to
turn every stone into a comfortable recliner lol. A special
thanks
to Ross for driving. :)
