----Only Party on Mountain | | Date: | Tuesday, September 13, 2022 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Bluegrass Ridge | | Location: | USA-Oregon | | Elevation: | 5680 ft / 1731 m |
Ascent Trip ReportElk Meadows-Bluegrass Tie Trail #647B still has numerous, mostly small, logs on it, but the lower reaches have been cleared fairly recently. On the whole it's not terrible, and seems pretty frequently used, but be aware that you will be climbing over many logs. Bluegrass Ridge Trail #647 is actually worse, which surprised me. The section between the junction with 647B and the high point was especially bad, although still not terrible as blowdown goes. Spent a little while checking out Elk Meadows (where there were numerous ripe huckleberries). Did not see anyone between Gnarl Ridge Trail and Newton Creek (on the way out). |
