Comments
Comments: Started before 7, but still encountered quite a few hikers this morning. Trails were generally dry with some mud and running water in the usual places. Lots of white flowers of various types in bloom up high. Sad to see the continued erosion, but good to see some new steps and waterbars being constructed on the Carriage Road. Temperatures weren't too bad for the ascent, though it looks to be another scorcher today.
