Itinerary:

Below is the description of the D5 we did last time. The photo of the elevation profile also reflects that hike.

We are adding 3 miles and 1000 feet on the southend of the D5 to make this a D6. You can use your mapping skills to see the short AT section we will add to achieve D6. Hint: the mountain name rhymes with flood.

This D5 section follows broad, rocky ridgetops offering excellent views. The longest climbs are on the north sides of Cowrock and Levelland Mountains. The section is within the Raven Cliffs Wilderness. There are no shelters.
