Ape Canyon and Plains of Abraham

The Ape Canyon trail is in excellent shape. There is one loose sketchy stretch for a few feet directly above the canyon slot where extreme caution is needed. Gorgeous old growth trees along the way before leaving the forest, and some flowers are blooming. The Loowit Trail to Plains of Abraham is rocky but easily traveled.

Another member and I couldn't resist bagging that little peak while the rest had lunch at the Butte's base. A very enjoyable day out and well worth the long drive!
