I went exploring up toward Persis. It's a long walk on the logging roads, about 5.5 miles to the trailhead. Then, going up the NW ridge of Persis was a nice enough trail. It has a few tricky spots where you could lose it, especially coming down. At the top, the views out north and east are spectacular. It was cloudy, but cleared up enough to get the view. A very long day. Next time I'll make it to Persis proper, and maybe to Index, but that would be a very, very long day.
