Salmon - Day 5 - Big Horn Crags
So from my discussion with the local Ranger Station, it appears the Big Horn Crags area is a good spot to go. The road is open all the way up to the trail head, at about 8500 feet, and I guess just a few weeks ago, it was not. Scott and I get up pretty early to get there, which I estimate to be a 50 mile drive or about 3 hours.
Here is Scott @ a new Big Horn Crag area map. Map and posts looked brand new. Got to be the nicest area map I've EVER seen.
After about 3+ hours of hiking, we come to the true "crags" area. The surrounding rock are a climbers DREAM. I scramble up on this huge rock formation, and have Scott snap a photo.
Here we are, checking out the view.
We press on, hoping to get to a local lake, however decided it was better to stop shy since it appeared the lake was at least another mile away. We had some lunch next to a fast running, small stream, and headed back, 14 miles round trip by my estimation. As I remember, the parking lot was swarming with mosquitos. Ouch.
