I went up on Sunday to Donut Falls. Its open again, and its not very busy either. When I got there there were only 3 cars in the parking lot. I didn't go for Donut Falls though, I went up to hike the Mine Road Trail that weaves behind Donut Falls. There's a really pretty valley that opens up behind Donut Falls that I wanted to photograph. Unfortunately, the Mine Road Trail is currently off limits to public hiking. I disregarded the "No Trespassing" signs, and did the hike anyways. I found out why its off limits though - apparently an avalanche came down this past winter, and leveled all the trees in the valley. There is still a lot of snow up there, and there are downed trees all over the place, its a disaster!! Pissed me off because I hiked all that way to take some pretty pictures, and it was all in vain cause all the trees are torn to shreds. :frustrated:
Oh ya. I also jogged on up to Guardsman Pass - Its still got lots of snow, and is still closed!!!! :frustrated: |
