Baby Munday approach trail

In late June, Dan and I finally managed to get out on a real hike. Well, waht we thought was going to be a real hike, anyway. It ended up being a hike up a clearcut logging road to get to the trail, some pleasant walking along the hills, and then an endless bushwhack-like trail up to the alpine. All-in-all, not the greatest of trails, but at least we got out and got some fresh air.
