Burnt Meadows Mt. hike

Ron and I started up the trail about 1020.  We hadn't gone far before we found a large evergreen tree had blown accross the trail from last Monday's storm.  It was easy to navigate around and we continued on.  Aside from leaves making the trail a little slippery and the trail taking so many sharp turns you hade keep a sharp eye out for blazes to keep from losing the trail, we had a good rewarding hike. Though there weren't  too many spots to see far off mountains through the trees, there was much beauty to see in hugr rock slides, impressive old trees, and a long stream unusually numerous miniature waterfalls  Unfortunately, Ron forgot his camera and many of the shots I took were blurry because I moved my Iphone too much.. There weren't  photos taken that showed the full beauty Ron and I enjoyed.

We'll go uphill about 2 1/2 miles in and out through woods and over rocks to the summit which is about 1,200' in elevation.  We may find remnants of an abandoned ski operation along the trail.

As this time, it could be rather cold.  It is recomended warm clothing be worn or brought to be added.  Cotton is not recommended

Ater the hike, if any are interested, we'll get pizza from a good place, go back to my place and chill.  Although it's a work in progress, it's well heated and equiped with composter toilet and portable shower.  There's woods out back to take a short walk in if the hike was too short.  Caution: It's hunting season.

For those who have come a long distance for hike or have consumed adult beverages while chilling, there is space to throw down a sleeping bag  on a cot, couch, or floor and you are welcome to spend the night, no charge.

This is a hike that was postponed because the only other member signed up was too sick to join me.  It's a second chance for us to enjoy a late fall hike before we have to get out our snowshoes..
