4.23.24~Buddah’s Rest (North Potosi) 6.5 miles, 2,400’ gain, 4:28hrs. After parking I heard sounds of an animal bellowing and moaning in the hills across the highway. I saw some sheep up there and wonder if one fell. I’ve never heard them make sounds before. I started out at 11:30am on a warm day but there were breezes and I never felt uncomfortably warm. My main goal was to check out the Old Boy Scout trails but I did the summit because I was curious about this gully that leads to the satellite saddle. It’s as terrible as I imagined but did the job. I used the Highline Trail, Boot Hollow & the Ponderosa Canyon trails. These trails are enchanting, rugged, lonesome and charmingly unkept. They follow below and above gigantic cliff walls. Really beautiful.
