 | Comments: |
A very challenging hike where it is usually so simple. Water crossings are high due to recent rains and spring thaw. Monorail is unstable and almost better to walk next to it than on it. Isis had less trouble on it than I did. Spikes were off and on all day which made for a lot of stopping. Glad to get out and get the peaks. Beautiful weather for today and great to meet everyone. |
