Have fun squirrel, take the deet you'll probably still need it in the forested areas.
Just an old musician who loves the Mountains.

Thanks for the report. I hiked this area a few years back and enjoyed it immensely. Even saw a pair of Bald Eagles at Pingeee Lake.
The sheer amount of exposed granite is breathtaking. I believe it was balzaccom who called this area "the bones of the world" (or something like that).

Wonder is rock and water and the life that lives in-between.
