Congratulations to OldMan on finishing the Grid!
Lower Ammo had lots of minor mud pits and wet rocks. Not a fan of how rough this section of trail is due to erosion, etc.
Steeps and above treeline weren't as wet or slippery.
Jewell had some blowdowns to climb over, but trail was generally dry.
The spur trail to the Cog had a closed sign on the upper junction (ie if coming downhill). A well defined herd path goes immediately left and soon empties out onto the Cog tracks a few hundred yards above the base. Yet, when you reach the base, you have to duck under a chain with (not facing uphill traffic) No Trespassing signs. And, the lower side of the Jewell spur (ie where the bridge was) does not have a closed sign. |
