After making a lot of guesses on the poorly marked trail, we found our way to Fat Man’s Misery. And the legend held up – it was hilarious.
Once we got through the small opening, and we escaped the black fly that was chasing us around, it was pretty much smooth sailing. There are three peaks you can tackle – we went off to the left first, which was less populated to have lunch and enjoy our summit beer. Of Tumbledown’s three peaks, North Peak is the highest at 3,090 feet. East Peak and West Peak are only slightly lower. We hit up the second peak and continued along the ridge to check out more views before descending down to Tumbledown Pond.
