Good Friday Skyline TR

Postby drndr » Fri Apr 22, 2011 9:59 pm

Left Riverside at 415
On Trail 515
Back at Valley Station 1115
And in Riverside 1215

Observations:

Only snow I walked through on traverse was because I wanted to not because I had to, very clear.

First time I did Skyline by myself and never saw another soul, very weird.

Did follow a family of 5 deer for about 45 min, then lost them after flat rock, very cool.

Couldn't help but think of Bruno Kirby's character in City Slickers had he been a Skyliner, "My best day on skyline was realizing all the alternate routes and cut switchbacks have turned into main trails. . . . And my worst day was the same one"

Cool post, and nice job. Strange on the weekday ascents, huh? No one, and I mean no one, there. Fun, peaceful, but kinda odd somehow. Glad you had fun, and thanks for the TR.
