Mt.
Massive Waypoint notes:
All points were taken via Garmin
eTrex Legend. This route was recorded in August in good weather.
The summer trail was very easy to follow at that time. The actual
hiking starts with waypoint Massive 1, and goes to the summit. The
route is pretty much Class 1 to waypoint Massive 10. From there, it
is Class 2. Reverse the points for descent.
Enjoy
& be safe!
