Good views

Parking was unavailable at Arthur’s Aghveran Resort, so we just went down around the corner and parked in a little pull off near the “trailhead.” We went counterclockwise which was perhaps steeper but the views were much better that way. The trail is basically just Lada Niva tire tracks and were pretty deep/washed out coming down. Definitely windy at the top and we were happy to have a layer! Quite a few people out on the trail, a few hikers but also several families gathering wild greens. You won’t get lost, but there isn’t a well-defined trail on the top so I would recommend having the map handy. Lots of wildflowers, no bugs.
