2 more 52 WAV. Stairs is a great peak, Resolution less so, summit is a bushwack defined by a small cairn. Veiws on a bright, hot, mostly windless day were still excellent. We skipped Crawford heading back due to an approaching pop-up. The trail after Crawford is terrific, mostly level with occasional nice views, plenty of shade, fast walking. Watch for loose skree, particularly heading down from Crawford. The clouds moved in and rain held off till we were 10 minutes from the cars. Saw several other hikers who may have got pretty wet. |
