On the front side, following the rail bed, there were several of those informational historic signs where the plastic covering to the sign was completely melted. Still, it was a nice hike, and it's had another year to recover. The camp itself, as I recall, was still very forested.SkyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149622862975962200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224556886142717176.post-45814762404222500222012-04-20T14:03:17.275-07:002012-04-20T14:03:17.275-07:00Love your blog!!

Lowe Trail Camp as an overnighter, but I've never been there. Does it seem like a nice place to camp, or is it still blackened and denuded? I couldn't quite tell from your pictures. Anyway, thanks for a great trail description!Suzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224556886142717176.post-37683679120709747882011-05-31T20:05:23.256-07:002011-05-31T20:05:23.256-07:00Great blog.

Definitely lots of dead trees, but also a surprisingly large number of living conifers along much of the Sunset Ridge trail.<br /><br />Not sure when I'll have time for another long hike in the area, but I'm definitely hoping for clearer skies the next time.SkyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149622862975962200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224556886142717176.post-80652247403197326742011-05-25T13:14:24.904-07:002011-05-25T13:14:24.904-07:00Sounds like a fun adventure.
