    Cannon Mountain - Environmental Damage, Hiking Prohibition, and SB217

    In all fairness to Cannon the Mittersill area has been under their jurisdiction only recently. Prior to that it had been abandonded for a couple of decades by all but out of bounds skiers and the occasional hiker. They can't be expected to throw a switch and turn it into Disney.

Geneva was not impressed by the 3rd crossing (or the bears) so we headed towards...

    peakbaggers: please don't flag...it's trash

    Flagging is sometimes used during SAR operations to mark grids for searches or to identify an off-trail route to a victim. Standard practice is to remove flagging on the way out.

As the first picture shows the park is divided into two climates by the sharp ridge. The west was in the fog with stifling humidity while the east was clear with a refreshing breeze...
