Other than one black lab, the four-legged friends were a color-coordinated assemblage of friendly yellow labs and big white dogs. Kudos to Link on his first fifty mile day hike (wow) with his two-legged friend. |

| Comments: |
Based on a fluctuating weather forecast, this hike was Plan D. It was a good day to stay below treeline, with the wind, cold (relatively), clouds, and sprinkles. Views were good to the east, not so good to the west, but still impressive cloud views over that way. |
