Along the ridgeline. This is what most of the trail looks like once past the lower steep parts.

Some random rock formations along the trail, similar to what the Catwalk will look like when you eventually get to it.

The difficult part of the Catwalk, which really wasn't too big of a deal. Just a little slippery. And also avoidable if you're not feeling it.

Beautiful forest greets you after a final slog up the ridge.


It started getting dark and rainy, so I didn't take any more photos once I got to the halfway mark. The route down is a the decent Ruckel Creek Trail through mostly forest.
