 | Comments: |
trails mostly dry. for the most part there are just the usual wet/muddy spots in the various sags. only spot with any snow or ice that i saw was down in the large ledge crack just below east quarry and if you are down there you have bigger issues. jumped my first bear of the season and spent some time visiting with the mount klem porcupine. great time of year to hike in the belknap range. |
