 | Comments: |
Hoping for a sunset, we spotted cars for the third time and headed up Black from the north at 6:45. Clouds sadly obscured what would have otherwise been a stellar show. Down Chippewa in fading light was great, and we made it to our spotted vehicle around 8:50 without using headlamps! |
