Itinerary:

So we will need to make a shuttle for this hike. The plan is to start hiking on the BMT where it intersects HWY 60 near Tooni Gap. We will go north over Wallalah Mountain (3104') and proceed to Rhodes Mountain (3375') from there. So then Duncan Ridge Trail goes east and we go west down BMT to Skeenah Gap. We will continue till we cross over HWY 60 again and then head to Brawley Mountain (3027') where according to my map there is watch tower. I am hoping we are able to see the sunset from her and then head back to our cars at Wilscot Gap.
