klenke Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 In actuality, I've climbed Mt. Townsend on the NE end of the range a couple of times though never in winter. Awesome for views. It could be a good winter climb. You could check that out. It's been 10 years at least since I've been up there, so I don't remember much. Best to consult maps. Unless they've made a new trail, the trailhead used to be someplace along a well-used (by logging industry) logging road where they decided not to let vehicles go any farther (gate?). The "trail" followed the closed road for a few miles then left it for the last push to the gentle north-south summit ridge. I seem to remember something called Bon Jon Pass Road. That would be a starting place for the map consultation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
