Highest Schells: South Fork Timber Creek

Humboldt National Forest. More peak bagging along the high ridge south of North Schell Peak, then a steep descent to the valley below.

A 2nd visit to the High Schells Wilderness, this one to the high point, the highest Schell. I made it a quick overnight trip, finding a tiny flat spot high on the ridge and out of the wind (at least for the evening) to spend the night.

Highest Schells: North Schell Peak

Humboldt National Forest. Packed and headed out for a quick overnight over the High Schells Wilderness high point to a spot perched on the ridge.

When the light is just right, the aspens really pop!

I've finally got all the trails I think I can get onto the OSM map for the High Schells Wilderness, so I am getting to the writing of the quick overnight within it.
