Another day of trailhead stewarding, and another hike after, and trying to do Big Crow once again. This time I knew the trail was not next to the register, but the other side of the lot. This is a weirdly steep trail for the length. Not horribly difficult, short, but still not a walk in the park. The views though, my, they're worth it. This is another Lake Placid 9 down... now 3/9.
Looking to do a short hike after working as trailhead steward, I went to do Big Crow from O'Toole road, part of the Lake Placid 9 challenge. I get to the lot, sign in at the register, and start hiking the trail next to the register. After 15 min or so I start asking myself, am I on the right trail? I thought this trail was only 0.7 miles and steep, but I've gone at least 1/2 a mile and it's been flat! I check the GPS, and yup, I'm on the wrong trail, I'm heading towards Hurricane! Oops!
