I intended to do a loop of Mount Morgan and Mount Percival. This started off as a solo hike, until I met a fellow hiker at an early junction in the trail, so we ended up hiking together for a majority of this hike. I was confronted with ladders, which was a first for me. After watching about twelve 15 year olds climb the ladders with no issue, I attempted and only got up one ladder before I had to climb down and take the trail that goes around the ladders to get to the summit of Mount Morgan. Grrr. I am going to tackle those ladders one of these days!
The views from the ledge of Mount Morgan has more to offer than the true summit which had a summit sign, but no views. Then I took the Crawford Ridge Pole Trail to summit Mount Percival.
Total time = 3:48minutes
Distance = 5.31 miles
