We will take the Wilderness Creek trail to the Gombu Wilderness Cliffs trail, tag Wilderness Peak and continue on the Deceiver Trail to Long View Peak and Doughty Falls. We'll then continue along Deceiver Trail and loop back along the Shy Bear Trail to take the Wilderness Creek Trail back to the cars. Be prepared for rain, mud, and possible down trees. NOTE: I will shorten the hike if justified by weather or trail conditions.
