Pemi Loop - CCW Dayhike, 8/31/2013

[bikehikeskifish]

If anyone is still interested, I recorded my Pemi Loop yesterday and put the track on CalTopo: http://caltopo.com/map?id=2G3C. My track is in red, and the official Osseo Trail track is in blue. Note that these appear identical, and neither one completely overlaps the dotted / drawn trail on the background layer.

Belated congrats to Big Earl and Trail Trotter Sue, just read Tims account from 9/20, so have to give you both your just due as well. I wonder if someone who accomplishes a loop like this in one direction would do it again in the opposite direction to directly compare which way would be preferred. Any takers amoungst the few, the proud....the crazy? Seriously, just wondering outloud. Been on all those ridges in different directions/ configurations, can see how both directions have their own unique brutal sections within the overal HUGE challenge. I am intrigued by the Osseo route, one trail I haven't been on, but have always had it on my curiousity list.
