Rattlesnake Ledge(s)
The plan had been to meet at 6, but when I showed up at the trailhead at quarter after, there wasn’t anyone waiting. Mark’s car was there though, and after waiting a bit, I headed up solo. Slightly overcast, but nice temps and everything had that post-rain glow thing happening. The weather has been so wonky the last couple days, but the way the rain makes everything smell and look when it’s over is worth the wetness sometimes. Started with a good pace - cruised up the first mile to the old trail and then off up to the right. Hit the first ledge and took some photos and fueled up, and then upward and onward to meet Mark at the upper ledge. A quick trail up the ridge pops you out slightly northwest of the first ledges, so the view was pretty cool, as we’d never been up there before. Back down, but this time staying right near the edge of the main ledge all the way back down the steeps until it crosses back up with the trail far below. Easy hike, good leg and lung stretcher.
