Hasn't voted | I did quite a bit of mapping in obscure areas of the Kalmiopsis -- stayed with Ruth and Perry Davis at Emlly Cabin in 1978, and ventured out on many trailess hikes. 4000'+ may not seem like much to the average SPer, but I could often see the Pacific Ocean, so that should give some idea of the "prominence". I remember hiking over the ridge south of Vulcan Peak, and the ridge far to the east, as well as on many ridges around Josephine Creek and the Chetco River. It's an interesting area -- 100" of precipitation mainly in the fall, winter, and spring -- so there is plenty of water -- and dry summers. |
