Upper
Canyon Creek, North Fork I remember little of bagging the two peaks but the rock formations on this trip left a lasting impression, truly amazing! The area is easily and quickly accessed from the north fork of Upper Canyon Creek. This was a delightful ridgewalk. I wanted to push on to climb GR409435, but my companions bailed because of strong winds. I do want to return to do the complete ridge walk. |
