Thorp Mountain via Knox Creek — Saturday, Sep. 26, 2020

We hiked to what would be the first clearing after the woods section at the top, but we were rained on the entire way. The trail is slippery in these conditions and gives way easily on the edge (which is true in dryer times as well). Right now the bushes in the first section are still really overgrown, so wear long pants or prepare to be scratched. The road is the same as always, which is to say, high clearance or you won't make it to the end. The first 5 mile section is easy, and the last 2 is pretty rough- I always have to scrape the sides of my suv to make it across the rocks and ditches. It's a great hike- this is my third time doing it, hopefully I'll go back in a few weeks with less rain. The bush colors are amazing right now both on the trail and in the distance.
