Done with switchbacks
Mill B South Trail to Lakes Blanche and Florence; Twin Peaks Wilderness, Utah; October 2017
When I hike to Blanche in the snow, I don't get this view because the winter trail tends to skip the last few switchbacks, climbing up the very steep slope straight ahead instead, so hiking from summer to fall is a treat. For most of its run, Mill B South isn't an exceptional trail like some others I've been on. It sticks to the bottom of the canyon and just kind of funnels up and up. But once the switchbacks end and this view opens up, it's as good as it gets.
