| Comments: |
The Jeep Road (short cut from the parking lot around the initial ridge) and lower trail were snow free and generally dry, but with lots of leaves covering rocks. A dusting of snow in the upper woods, as well as (prior to dark) avoidable ice. Above the bridge, there was a lot of wet ledge that could set up as black ice tonight.
Was hoping for a sunset, but the 'mostly sunny' afternoon ended up mostly cloudy. Would that it were. |
