Ascent Trip Report

Nice easy little hike on a well maintained trail from parking lot. Easy to follow but steep. Teddy at 3.5 months old (my grandson) took his first peakbagging trip with is mom and dad and Karen and me and Willie. A nice high prominence hike that is completed with little effort. Then when over and tagged Browning by myself. A nice trail to it as well but muddy and steep. If I had just done this peak and returned to car my GPS woudl have shown the round trip as 1.2 miles. Teddy did great on his first adventure never cried once.
