This is not a hiking trail, but a cross country hike. My goal was to summit Bristol Head Peak, but I failed. After the first mile and a quarter, I entered into the forest where the aspen growth was thick and there were a thousand blow downs of spruce. This made for an extremely slow pace trying to navigate through this obstacle course. At about 2.5 miles, I was approaching the point where I would ascend up on top of the ridge to traverse to the top. I opted to turn around because I was tired, I still had 2 miles to get to the top, and I was running late on time to do the entire hike. In the future, I will need to be in better shape and get an earlier start.
