 | Comments: |
nice day, started off 50 degrees with no sun. Mt Avalon and Field had no views, but after a nice gourmet lunch on Field, started down to clearing skies. Went back up Avalon to find amazing views of the notch.
Trails are muddy, wet, and slippery. Careful footing needed to avoid slipping injuries or rolling ankles. |
