Ascent Trip ReportRoad to trailhead in good shape; any SUV and some sedans can make it. Just some sections of Alamo Rd with somewhat loose big gravel. Not enough clearance to stay in the dual track, and you scrape the gravel. It's wide enough to drive out of the tracks, but if you sink or dig in, you could get stuck.
Trail also good. Wiregrass Spring is running well. Cabin in good shape; there's a sleeping pad in it; just need a sleeping bag.
Beyond the cabin, it's good to have a GPS track to stay on the use trail. I used Jen Chapman's, and it was spot on. Coming down into the sun, it was much more difficult to stay on the trail. I finally took my GPS in my hand to move along faster. |
