| Comments: |
I've done this loop many times in counter clockwise direction and thought I'd try something different. It was nice to get most of the elevation done by the time I reached Lafayette, moving easily over Lincoln, then to Little Haystack. I felt pretty good about my choice today, however this changed quickly while descending the Falling Waters trail as my knees were talking and rocks were wet and slippery in places. Passed hundreds of people moving in the usual direction. |
