Surprisingly this was a new one for everyone involved (Sue, Jill, John, Bruce, Ken). Some of us had been up Hunger before but the rest of the trip was new. A nice day with great hiking temperatures and clear which seems to be rare this summer. We went up from the Hunger side, went up White Rock and Hunger, and then headed over on the ridge to Mt Worcester. The trail was not eroded and good walking. There were places where the ferns were growing over the trail so you could not see your feet. Not a lot of traffic! The trail down Worcester was eroded. Probably due to the way the trail was cut (straight down) rather than the traffic although maybe a combination of both. There was an interesting thick vein of quartz that ran down part of this trail. The trail sign indicated about a 9 mile hike. The reality is that it is more like 14. John's GPS said 14 and Sue verified this by looking at maps after. A long day but a good one!
