Comments
Comments: Cool morning, trails are very leafy and the acorns are like marbles in some places. Moved a couple larger downed branches along the way. Some puddle dodging was involved, and some caution on a decent portion of the ledges on the Piper-Whiteface link.

Piper had awesome views per usual, and some surprising semi-filtered views on Swett. Fewer trees are holding onto their leaves.
