Easy winter hike on Sawyer River Road

12/29/11 - First John and I enjoyed the river views and sounds, taking many photos of river ice. Then we scrambled (I slid) to ascend the steep bank to the road.

We walked down Sawyer River Road until we reached the intersection with the Signal Ridge Trail, which leads to the summit of Mt. Carrigain. We had a lovely leisurely lunch (including orange milanos and chili mango!) overlooking the river.

~3 miles, virtually no elevation gain (~3 hours RT)
Summit: none
Route: along Sawyer River, then along Sawyer River Road (unplowed)
