| Comments: |
Trails were generally dry with a couple wet spot here and there. The leaf cover on the Red Hill Trail down low held a lot of the moisture from last night's rain. One mucky spot on the Cabin Trail on the snowmobile portion. Very windy on the summit and in the tower this morning. Nice views with a little haze mixed in. t |
