Never in one place.
I was poking around online maps in the morning trying to figure out a day trip destination and I found mention of the Cornice Ridge Trail starting at the Bridal Lake rest area. I briefly glanced at the information page (https://www.crestonvalleytrails.ca/trails/cornice-ridge/) before heading out to …
I was heading down the Skagit River Trail from the Sumallo Grove parking lot in Manning Park to kill some time, and also to make sure I could easily find the marker for the Silverdaisy Mountain trail for an upcoming trip. Not far from that …
