Shriner Peak

If you like wild berries, this hike is for you!! I have never enjoyed berry picking so much on any hike. Its a medium 8 mile - 3400ft hike. This late in the season with all the practice behind us it was easy. The hill sides are full of huckleberries and some blueberries, we just could not eat enough. There is a lot of fall colour. Views on a clear day are just breathtaking. With 3500ft elevation gain, its a workout, but totally worth it. At this point, the trail is very well maintained, but there is no water on the trail. We took about 3 hrs to hike up, plus more than 30 min berry ticking, and 2 hrs to come down.
