ACCESSING THE PTARMIGAN TUNNEL TO AHERN PASS GOAT TRAIL, #1This was taken a few yards from the Ptarmigan Tunnel. Access to the goat trail is not through the tunnel, but by climbing the ridge to its left (left, that is, while facing the tunnel). This first section, taking you "up, over, around, then back down" is neither lengthy nor difficult. Picture taken from where climb begins, with the figure at top being...on top.
