This was my inefficient actual route, much tougher than I expected! Nominal gain to the top of Palisade Mountain was only about 900', but if the app is to be believed, somehow I doubled that. First, the good social trail disappeared in the burn zone, and I found a very difficult way to the top, taking 1:32 for 1.5 mi to get there. Second, it was also tough and apparently disorienting making my way down, north, east, and back south from the summit to the crash site.
