Hiked Heald and Nicolls from Brooks Rd. I rode the mountain bike from my parking spot on Brooks Rd. to the end of the dirt road. From there is was steep up the slope to the saddle, the rugged cross-country to Heald. Lots of good scrambling up the cliffs to Heald and a surprising amount of poodle dog bush, which I had never seen in the Sierra. I wonder if hikers are responsible for transporting the plant from down south. Hiked back to the saddle, tagged Nicolls, then rode the bike back to the car for a good meal and rest in Wofford Heights.
