| Comments: |
Trails were damp in the morning with some minor mud here and there as I hiked through mostly light rain. Once I started to descend Webster Slide rain became much heavier - especially the last two miles - which made a mess of the trail. Of course no views were had at any of the outlooks today.
I saw nobody until I got to the Webster Slide summit where I was very surprised to see two folks already there. On my way out I passed 8 NOBO's and toward the end met a SOBO who I gave a ride to a nearby hostel. Despite the rain - which we do need - it was still an enjoyable trek. |
