The mountains called and I could no longer resist. Skull Crack started easy, turned into a pretty good climb, rewarded me with spectacular views and then stabbed me in the leg. It’s a very overgrown trail and I’m guessing it doesn’t see a lot of wheeled traffic. The branches from low scrub oak grab and scratch at your arms and legs. One rogue branch caught me hard in the thigh and left a 5 inch abrasion up my leg. I now understand why everyone had long sleeves and pant legs on in the YouTube videos.
The Kokanee Salmon were spawning at the inlet where the trail ends.
