Wick Dome

Loda and I hiked Wickersham Dome today. It was a bit overcast and a little chilly, but it was really nice not to feel overheated while hiking with a 25-pound pack on my back. The only not-so-nice thing about the hike was the mosquitoes. We stopped a couple of times for water or a snack and the mosquitoes began dive bombing us. It was rather unpleasant to say the least.

Oh, and the mud. I wasn't wearing gaiters. My pants were brown to the knees. Might have been nice to have a pair.

The view from the top was simply gorgeous. I was a little sad that we weren't going to be sticking around for the overnight. The wind kept the mosquitoes away and we got in a little nap after lunch before heading back to the trailhead.

The hike was approximately 7 miles long, with about a 1,000 ft. ascent elevation. I believe Loda will be putting more detailed information in another post on the blog.
