We hiked up the Mary Glen Trail. Then hopped on the Escarpment Trail and hiked up to North Point, and then to Lookout #2. After Lookout #2, we left the trail, when it turned north. Bushwhacking was slow. Lots of firs and conifers to push through. We bushwhacked about 3/4 of a mile. Weaving in-and-out of the trees to find a clear path. But, often we just had to push our way through the thick forest. Once we got to the bog, the conifers were horribly thick. You could be within 25' of the bog and never know it was there.
The bog is quite big. Mike K thinks it is about 2 acres, and it is well hidden. It was very thick with brush. Lots of animal paths through the bog. This included the many bears that live up there. There were a couple sleeping on the edge of the bog, but they left before we could get there. No shortage of bear scat on the way to the bog. Mike K believed that the peat was shallow, and it was. It ranged from 6-24" thick. There were two glacier layers, which was very unusual. The ph was also quite low, at 4.25. And, of course, we got quite muddy in the process.
Once we were done, we then hiked back to the car. About 5.5 miles.
