What a great day to be on the ridge. Decided to avoid Falling Waters trail today and from what I heard I made a great choice. A slick monorail showed up at about 3700,feet and only went away at treeline. Used spikes for about a half mile each side of Greenleaf Hut. Amazing day to hang out on the peaks as weather was perfect and the crowds were down. |
