 | Comments: |
An afternoon loop over the Doubleheads in Jackson. Pleasant conditions overall. Still not sure why the wooded north peak is on the 52WAV list but the more open south peak isn't. Great expansive views from the open ledge between the summits. Left the cabin just as a group of boys were backpacking up for a stay. |
