Trail at 3/4 mile ridge crest
After setting up camp at Lone Fir CG, we drove to Harts Pass to do a short "warm-up" hike. We had not been to the pass since fire scorched a large area of forest in the area about 5 years ago, I believe. The larch are just starting to turn golden, but the berry bushes are a vibrant red. Time allowed us to hike only 2 miles to a gap on Tatie Peak's shoulder, 7000 ft. The afternoon was cloudy so peaks were mostly hidden from view. The trail begins in unburned forest and climbs gradually in 3/4 mile to a ridge crest where you begin to see some of the burn area. Except for some hare bells flowers are mostly gone.
