A fantastic route starting up gradual switchbacks on the PCT through nice forests. The trail opens up as it gets higher and views get better and better. After the PCT section up to a saddle on the upper mountain, it goes up a much steeper fire road and segment of trail to get to the fire tower at the Buttes. It's really amazing how they got that built! Stupendous views in every direction. I turned around and ran down moderate. I think this can go a lot faster, especially on the downhill.
I carried a liter of water and some gels. There isn't any water source on this except during the first and last section of the route, but this was an especially dry year. There may be some creeks higher up on wetter years.
