Itinerary description

Vigorous hike, the grade going down the Smith vista by bushwhacking was 39.8%! 34.1% just before 3.5 miles of the 7 loaded here. 31.4 % climbing to Hemlock. The trail is maintained and as long as you are fit, it's do-able without special equipment. Good shoes and trekking poles a plus. Water a must.
