| Comments: |
Trail is solidly packed to the start of the 'Agonies' then we had some rebreaking from this area to Lafayette. Blue sky & undercast while on Lafayette --- Washington was poking out of the clouds to the east. The rest of the loop was minimal visibility but no problem with route & trail finding since many folks came up Falling Waters making it easy to find the entrance. |
