Did this a few days ago. This video helped me take the "new" way to the cutline as opposed to swampy trail 57. I took that way back mind you. From the peak I went across the ridge a ways and took 58B down. If you have aspirations this summer of climbing up that one it's in my Rockies day hike 112 video. You actually commented on it 7 months ago.
That is cool. glad the video helped. its a nice walk for sure and once across the cutblock its a fairly relaxed walk to the top,, did you do the meadow of the bushwhack at the top.. i did look at the other peaks off to the left from the top, i did think about coming down that way as i had seen it in your video, but time was marching on and i know me well i cant resist stopping for deadfall, so that will be another day trip for me, I think i would start at trail 57 far end then up 58a. , glad the video helped, i did put up some red flagging by the cut block etc and cutline, its is a little over grown but i chomped out quite a bit,
@@davebloggs I got tired of side hilling in the meadow in that tufty tall grass. Not a nice hiking surface as I'm sure you know. So I climbed up to the top of the ridge and zig zagged in the trees until I stumbled across a trail. I found your signature red trail tape several times. Especially helpful along that cutblock since of course the old orange flagging is still there from the logging. I'm assuming you mean up 58B. I did some work along that one but it certainly could use some more love. On the ridge between the two trails I found what I assume is a hunter's camp. A very strange camp with no water, no views, no fire pit, and they lifted in 2 plastic barrels of supplies. I can only surmise with a helicopter. I know little about hunting but are they really gonna helicopter out whatever they shoot? Or is the plan to haul it out on their shoulders? No clue. I didn't start hiking till like 11:30 but was surprised to find I was arriving back at the car at 8:30. All the zig zagging and trail work and hunting around and such. It just takes a lot of time.
@@marcofthetrail I would come in from 57 far end then up 58b next time round i think just because its a different route and different things to see. there are many strange finds in that area, I have seen skidoo track right up through that way, and also seen horse crews hauling in some pretty big gear, once you cross the cut block and just before heading down to the small creek crossing on the old cut line you will see a good trail off on the right if you follow that up not even a km you will find a great horse coral . in one of slightly earlier videos all smoke alternative start wrong way video, i went out that way a very nice place to explore. , I try not to do to much red tape i prefer cut logs and rock piles etc but sometimes the tape stands out at a distance. i tend to put it in spots that i think now where the heck do i go. so hopefully the next person will find it, a trail soon appears. Im planning on heading to trail 19 again all being well on the weekend i cleared out loads of dead fall last couple of visits but still way more to do. how was the road in there did you come in from the ware creek PRA i find that road a pain in the mud in wet weather.
@@davebloggs Wow you're working on 19? I guess even Gil is dropping it from her next edition. Never thought of a skidoo, quad tracks would be obvious but maybe they figured out a way up there in winter over the snow. Far as the road from the PRA: I stopped at the bottom of the hill and parked in the pullout for the old road going down the North side of the creek because the mud hole that's always there was a little much. It was maybe a km from the normal tralhead. My car has the lowest clearance though imaginable.
@@marcofthetrail I have cleared out 19 from the top and the bottom end must have moved at least 100 trees so far, i know she is dropping it but it still gets used , someone has been through there with orange tape not to long ago which was well handy, i did some videos, but to my way of thinking there are only 2 north south trails in that area and the death valley one is crazy hard to follow at the top in the swampy grass so 19 it was and link creek all the way through to the ware PRA. my plan is to start south head north to the big meadows and the link creek turn off, then head back south, I fixed up the fences and the signage through there as much was in a right mess, I try to avoid the top road if it has not been dry for several days, my car also has low clearance , but i have surprised many people when they find me out in the middle of no where in a little car.
