 | Comments: |
Trail was in great shape - a few minor patches of mud near the stream crossings, a minor stretch with water up along the switchbacks, the steep stretch heading up the cone was dry. Great views on top for my #48 - wasn't alone finishing my 48 as I was joined by a canine finishing the 48 before their 2nd birthday - a shout out - hoorah! - to the canine who climbed Galehead and Garfield today! And thanks to my friends who don't hike for making my #48 a real occasion! |
