Crickey, those are seriously jumbled slabs of rock. Seems inconceivable that they didn't route the path around them. No other options? Lack of public land? Loved playing on rocks/boulders like that as a kid but can scarcely image trying to hike mile after mile over/around them with a backpack.
lol...gotta love the rocks! so was i exaggerating when i tried to "explain" them to you? maybe u don't remember about that now, but those rocks i'll never forget. thanks for all the great pics ellie, i'm loving going on this hike thru you. ;-) good luck and can't wait to see ur "finish" pics!
The ones on this page are "skull-fracture" rocks. The next day I got to the "get freaking killed" rocks.
Fiberjoy -- they route the trail over the rocks to make it challenging. I think there should be a go-around option (a "blue blaze" trail.) I do have a sense of accomplishment but also a lot of scrapes, bruises and sore spots, thank God nothing worse.
