Up the Ladders and Down Through the Caves


Today I would be joining Scott, Lisa and Jim for a loop hike up Mount Morgan over to Mount Percival and down. This hike is on the Terrifying 25 list because of the ladders going up the side of some ledges on Mount Morgan and the boulder caves coming down off of Mount Percival. This sounded like a fun hike!
