| Dripping
Rocks to Paul C. Wolfe Shelter. |
| Caught a
shuttle at 9:30am to Dripping Rocks Parking lot. We started
hiking at 10:05am for a 10 mile hike to Paul Wolfe Shelter |
|
Trail was duff covered and easy hiking for
the first couple of miles and the same at the end towards the
shelter. The in between was rocks, rock steps, log steps with
broken rocks in between, and huge boulders we had to climb, hike
between or go over the top. |
|
The views from the rock ledges were clear
looking down into the valley and to the distant mountains. The
boulders were gray-white covered with mosses, laurels,
rhododendrons, ferns, rock cress, columbines and wild geraniums.
The trail on the ledges were also very narrow and dangerous.
It took us most of the day to hike the rocky sections. Easy
hiking switchbacks with occasional rocks led us to the creek
crossing at the shelter. Arrived at the Wolfe Shelter
approximately 5:))pm tired from such a rocky trail, ready to eat and
go to bed. |

Happy Father's Day to all my friends and
Happy Anniversary to my husband. |
