Israel Ridge and Emerald Bluff - Sun. Aug 31

[Bob Kittredge]

I'm looking to take some trails I haven't done yet. The descriptions of Israel Ridge Path and the Emerald Trail strike my fancy -- cascades, steep rough climbs, ladders, nice views. Could possibly make it all the way to Adams, but I doubt it.

Starting from the Castle TH around 7:30AM. Turnaround time 1PM. If you're interested, look for my boxy little white Scion xB.

P.S. I'll be hiking on Saturday as well, so don't expect any replies after tonight.

KDT, Larry and I came down from Adams this way on 7/4/2008. TR is here:

There is a beautiful cascade along a polished granite chute right next to the trail, in the cascade ravine section:



Enjoy -- it was beautiful,
