NE Porcupine Ck to Boundary Ridge and Peak Off-Trail hike on 13-Sep-2
This isn't a hike about grand views; instead, it's about experiencing a raw rocky landscape with the clearest water imaginable as your constant companion. The torrential rain from the previous couple of days complicated matters slightly due to higher-than-typical creek levels (and myriads of waterfalls coming down the cliffs), but we were still able to travel the impressive canyons and climb to Boundary Ridge. Two people stayed on the ridge while two bagged the peak, and then we descended back to creek level to spend another few hours building our fitness on rocks and in water. Great weather and even better companions made for a fun day, and I hope that everyone enjoyed it despite so much time spent down low!
