Pica along trail
Ralph and I went in from I90, Exit 47 trailhead access and followed the well maintained trail to Annette lake. There we took some pictures and then backtracked on the trail to an open area leading to the ridge. We traversed several boulder fields to the summit, which wasn't too bad since the rock was dry and free of moss on the open slope. Views from the top were great but the Fall-color photos we hoped to get eluded us, on the upper slopes, as Winter quickly approaches.
Going down, we thought, would be easier in the tree-line along the long boulder field. Instead the ground was damp and slippery but the pine needles and duff made for a softer landing as we slid many times before reaching the trail not far from the lake.
Total time/distance from/to the trailhead 7.5 hours/about 9 miles.
