The day did not look a hiking day when we woke up. We were planning to go higher, but rain was coming down hard. At about noon, it started to clear so we choose to go to Mt Willard. It was more crowded then we had expected. The first two water crossings had a strong current. There was a lot of muddy areas and running water on the trail. The views though made it all worth while. This is an easy small mountain with huge views.
We did post a video of our day for anyone who is interested, just click the link. |
