Comments
Comments: I wanted a challenge today and I got it. Relentless gain from the last major crossing and a real thigh burner. I am proud of this hike simply because I have not done it in a long time. The trail is in great shape. Solid in the AM and a little softer in the PM... It's that time year again. Freeze thaw and with every day the snow pack becomes less and less. Get on out there and have some fun. This day was sorely needed and I am sure to be sore tomorrow.
