Trip report
Oct 15, 2020 — I didn't know it at the time of doing this hike, but Tadpole Ridge had burned a few months before I got here. This was clear about a mile into the hike, but the trail was still in great shape. After some pretty forest walking and some moderate elevation gain, I made it to the ridgeline where there were some really nice views of the surrounding area, including toward Signal Peak. The trail mostly keeps off the ridge crest, instead side-hilling on its northern slope. The last hundred feet of the hike is off-trail to find the high point. I considered continuing along the ridge since the trail does continue, but the trail did seem a bit less obvious and I also had other peaks I wanted to hike. I was happy with the high point.
