| Comments: |
A straightforward hike through the mist. The drizzle helped keep us cool in the thick humidity, but also made the ledges on the White Dot Trail borderline dangerous to descend. Very slippery rock. I took a few falls but only ended up with a few scratches.
Found dog poop on the Pumpelly Trail, so people have found ways to hike with dogs in the park. |
