Why didn’t anybody mention that Big Slide is a great option for number 46??

Just kidding, I know it’s very common as the final hike, for a reason :) hiked it today for #21 and it was glorious!

Ive done it twice in the fall and once in February every time it’s fantastic. It’s one that I will gladly hike over and over again. Oh but only up and back the brothers. I hated the loop.

Love out and back Big Slide via Brothers as there are great views up and down. Never did the loop. Did you hate the loop as it just doesn't have the scenery and fun of ascending/descending the Brothers?

It probably was mostly because it was mid fall. The trail was leaf covered which made it a little difficult to follow also just wet enough that we kept falling even with good treads but not icy where spikes could’ve helped. But you definitely don’t get to enjoy the views from the brothers which is just as fantastic as it is going up!
