So, instead I took a visual of how I wanted to head back, in case there wasn’t a route, and followed the cairns south that would lead me towards East Buffalo Peak instead. Initially, I’d wanted to hike West Buffalo Peak first, but I wasn’t able to find a marked route. When the 4WD road ended, the cairns picked up. There was one set of tracks on the trail, which ended when the road ended. Also, this is when I realized I’d forgotten my sunglasses. As the sun came up, crows started cawing. I followed this 4WD road for 3 miles, almost to treeline. This road obviously hadn’t been in use in quite a while, as there were trees growing directly in the middle of the road, and large trees that had fallen across it years ago I made my way towards the trailhead (now with a vehicle parked there I hadn’t heard drive in), and followed the trail southwest to a closed 4WD trail. I slowly gathered my gear, forced down a breakfast bar, and was on the trail at 6:30am, trudging slowly. On the positive side, I wasn’t cold this morning: that’s two mornings in a row! It was 38 degrees. Probably has something to do with the fact I have a difficult time eating while I’m hiking, and I’d already hiked 7 peaks above 13K in the past 2 days. I hadn’t had enough to drink last night to give me a hangover, but here I was, with a pounding headache. The trailhead was just to the west of where I parked (trailhead circled in red) I read a bit, tried to eat (and failed), sipped whiskey, watched a curious camp robber, and once again, got to bed early. There weren’t any cars parked at the trailhead, but the dispersed campsite was free, so I parked there, being sure to leave room in case anyone else wanted to camp. I was surprised I hadn’t seen a single vehicle on the long drive in. It was an easy 4WD road to the trailhead.
