Comments
Comments: Unfortunately we were in the clouds about 2,000 ft on up. Went to the Horn anyway. Of course it started clearing around 2 pm as we made our way down Unknown Pond Trail. Some scattered yellows and reds but most leaves on UPT section are on the ground. Saw what looked like hunters on the way in after the Hatchery. Crazy Foot wore blaze orange vest!
