 | Comments: |
A great afternoon hike and a relaxing wait for the sunset which I watched from the summit. The half moon and clear skies made it so I only used my headlamp some on the way down. Conditions were cool (50 degrees) with just a bit of breeze (10 mph) just before sunset. Thin gloves might have been nice while I was taking pictures. Otherwise I kept my hands in my pockets |
