The Miller Peak loop hike in the Teanaway is open for hikers. There are a few patches of snow that pose no problem at all. There is also still one large drift about in the middle of where the trail traverses the south slope of Miller Peak. It is on the lee side of one of the ribs. I found it easy to skirt this drift on the low side. There is no exposure and it just takes a few minutes. However, due to the lay of land, motorbikes cannot get past this point. Thus there might not be too many bikes on the loop this weekend.
This is the first time I have done the loop clockwise. This meant heading up the Miller Peak trail. At the second stream crossing the rocks looked kinda iffy and I did not care for the branchless down log several feet above the stream. But no worries here since I packed along a brand new pair of ‘Stream Defenders’ to give them a test flight. I didn’t even have to sit down to put them on. Although I did modify them so they cinched up better. And then into the current I merrily strolled without a care in the world. Don’t you just love it when a kinda weird idea works better than you expected?
The scenery was stunning. In a day or two I will post more pics at http://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7967824
