Mystery photo number twelve

July 27, 2012 by Dave Knadler

Looks like a north-south highway off in the distance.

Climb the full length of this 3.8 mile trail, and you will have gained nearly half a mile in elevation. Fortunately, they sell beer at the top.

This view is close to the northernmost extent of my summer journeys. For one point, name the trail and the mountain on which this photo was taken. For three points, name the ranger district that contains both.

  Close enough. I sense you have some familiarity with this area 🙂

If you’re right, Mike – and I think you are – that was some good Googling. I had a total fail on this one.

We were with Dave on that hike. That was my one chance to make a correct guess!! I am so out of my league in this competition. It was an amazing hike I do have to say.
