- Description:
- The final hike of my season was
similar to the previous two, not terribly exciting, but always worth
it. I was heading out of town for a few weeks, so I took the first
weekend in November to take in this short hike and bid the 2002 hiking
season farewell. Chuck came along to Rattlesnake Point which is
located north of Crouch approximately 25 miles.
- On these last two hikes, both
Chuck and I wore a lot of blaze orange as hunting season was in full
swing. We ran into a few hunters on our way to the point where we
enjoyed our ceremonial lunch and conversation. Unfortunately, I
can't say there were a whole lot of excellent views on this trail.
I should also note that the guide we used wasn't exactly correct, and we
were able to cut it down from a 9 mile hike as it was posted in the
book.
- The highlight of the hike had to
be on the way home when we stopped off at a hot springs and took a quick
dip. I have to say that crossing the river to get the hot springs
wasn't nearly as enjoyable, but it was the price we had to pay to relax
in the hot water.
