For this hike I had to hike up Burnt Lake Trail to where It meets ZigZag Mtn. Trail and go East on it to where it meets Paradise Park Trail. I had to pass through a lot of brushed over trail that was very wet from a morning dew and I got soaked. Most of this trail goes through huckleberry fields that look like they were once tended by the indigenes population.
By the numbers: 17 Miles, 3700 ft. total elevation gain and on the trail for 11 hours. Most of this hike was done at an elevation between 4000 ft. to 5000 ft.
Notes: Breaking through overgrown trails slows you down a lot. It is also less safe as you do not know where you are stepping and you hit rocks or sticks that will trip you. This is the first time when hiking that I did a full face plant as a stick on the trail tripped me and thick brush kept me from getting poles forward to catch me.
