A day off again....we chose to hike the Danny On trail, up on Big Mountain. The trail is named after a silvaculturist (ecologist) who worked for the Forest Service, also a well-known wildlife photographer. He died at the age of 55 in a 1979 skiing accident on the mountain. Summer activities on Big Mountain also include an alpine slide, zip line, mountain biking, walk in the trees, and riding on the ski lift. The trail is 3.8 miles one way, with some side trails you can add on....elevation gain about 2000 feet. We took the lift back down.
