 | Comments: |
Lots of running water on upper half of trail. Some thicker ice from junction up to summit area. Used micros from junction and left on till out of minor ice on way down. Did run into nice lady that had hiked a section with me last winter. Also ran into a large meet-up group. Good day! Knee is getting better finally. |
