 | Comments: |
Out and back via the Bickford. Nice trail with easy grades. Thick leaf cover in the hardwoods, (thank goodness for poles on the descent, saved my butt a few times). Super day on the mountain with mild temps, bright sunshine, clear views, and not a breath of wind. I only saw one other hiker arriving at the summit as I was leaving. |
