Middle Tripyramid

Trail: Pine Bend Brook Trail, Mt. Tripyramid Trail

Conditions: Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable

“Out and back on Pine Bend Brook. Starts as an enjoyable walk in the woods along the babbling stream. A few muddy sections had rocks and branches so my feet stayed fairly clean. Steep, rocky ascent from around 2300 ft to 3400 ft in elevation. After a short walk along the ridge, the final 500 ft ascent to North was steep with a few scrambles. The hike out and back to Middle was mild by comparison. Enjoyed meeting Tom and comparing hiking lists.”

“Fantastic views today from the Middle Tripyramid summit and no great views from North,Tripyramid, but you can see the slides walking on the ridge and several other sights looking through the trees. The first 2.1 miles was not much elevation gain and very very minimum amount of rocks on the trail which made for a pretty fast time. On the way up once you hit the steeps heading to Norrh Tripyramid Summit it's relentless, steep and scrambling in a lot of places and and just when you've had enough, you pop out on the ridge to the summit and heading over to the middle was some scrambling in places going down as well as going up, but not too difficult and not too bad. Pine Bend is definitely a trail with a string mix of gentle and steep terrain. The trail was in great shape with no blowdowns and all of the many stream crossings were easily rock hopped. Not a crowded trail, but enjoyed the solitude. Great to meet several hikers today on the trail. I enjoyed hiking with couple from Vermont from North to Middle summit and the talking with Christina comparing our hiking aspirations of the white.”

Trail: Pine Bend Brook Trail, Mt. Tripyramid Trail, herd path

Conditions: Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable

“Surprisingly dry and very little monorail, spikes stayed in the car. We were thinking of doing more summits than just the Tris so we added on a side quest to Scaur Peak. Summit herd path is braided and chock full of blowdowns of various shapes and sizes, rough and could be cleared up a bit, kinda wandered into the jar from the south end of the summit clearing. About the driest I've seen Pine bend and minimal mud tho bugs and heat were both nuisances on the last couple miles of the descent”
