Nun-da-gotta-go-go

The weekend is looking to be rainy with Hurricane Ernesto moving in. So, I decided to take a day off from work and go up north and do some hiking.
I wanted to do an easier hike than last weekend, so Howie and I did a loop over Weston mountain, Nun-da-ga-o Ridge (Soda Range) and Big Crow mountain. It sounds like a lot, but it's a relatively mild hike. A lot of the climbing is done in the car on a narrow gravel road up to the trailhead. The ridge is relatively low (around 3000 feet), but has a lot of open rock with views of the high peaks to the south. We saw a handful of people in morning, but had the ridge to ourselves for the rest of the afternoon.

Round-trip Distance: 6.0 mi
Elevation Change: 1500 ft

Does Howie ever get to pick what mountains you climb?

Yah, I put out the maps and let him pick something out. He puts his paw on the one he wants to climb.
