| On this particular occasion, we hiked up Rock Canyon and took the Dry Fork route to Cascade Saddle. We took on Freedom Peak first and then Shingle Mill, two peaks that could not be more different in their respective difficulties. Getting there takes a little while, but Shingle Mill is a piece of cake. The new trail could use a few more hikers to increase its visibility, but the terrain is gentle enough that the trail isn't really necessary.
As a side note, I prefer the Big Spring Hollow trail for its scenery. When I hiked up that way, we got to the saddle at the same time as a thunderstorm. Made things interesting. |
