Six of us decided to repeat parts of a hike we took at the end of September 2013. That time we started at Carr/Feeley and did this hike counterclockwise. This time we started at Grouse Ridge and went clockwise, hiking down hill south of Island Lake to start. Then we hiked up to Penner and ate lunch there. Occasionally we saw dustings of snow in the north-facing protected areas, but the air was clear and crisp, the trail no longer dusty.
After lunch we cross-countried down to Shotgun Lake, cutting off a few miles of hiking out of Penner and around past Rock Lake. The cross-country was a bit steep in its descent with a few rolling rocks and hiking through brush. Once down to Shotgun the remainder of the trail was mostly uphill, some of it steep.
We saw no one else. Over 8 miles with a 1600 ft elevation gain.
