The weather was slightly overcast or it would have been pretty hot. We followed the trail signs in for the first mile and then they totally disappeared. As in non existent. We followed the logging road to where we imagined the Peak should be. We were also following horse tracks so we knew we were heading in the right direction. The road forked numerous times and it was a crap shoot. We stayed left, eventually crossing a creek. Now Mica Peak was behind us. We back tracked and ran into a group of hikers that had a geologist with them who knew the area. He pointed us up a wild life trail. More like a Billy goat trail. This ascent was very steep and rocky. Beautiful view at the top of the trail. We were still only 1/2 way up. Continued on until we came to another animal trail, but marked with blue tape. This one was over grown with vegetation and ....did I mention crapshoot??? We were definitely doing some bushwacking. Found our way out onto the logging road, Mica Peak dome in view. This trip was out and back and was 14 miles long, all up and then back down.
