Avg Rating: 3.57

Hiked up to Juniper Peak for the first time in almost twenty years on Monday. The trail was more rutted from motorcycles than before, but not as bad as sections of the Boundary trail #1 I've been on. The ridge was just as beautiful as I remembered. I had the trail and the peak to myself. Clouds obscured the more distant views but most of the peaks in the Dark Divide region were visible. The access roads are still drivable in a passenger car without much difficulty, although there are a number of potholes.
