 | Comments: |
Larger loop over Madison and Adams. Howker Ridge is a beautiful way to ascend Madison and Spur Trail is a scenic way to descend Adams below Lowe's Path. Many people enjoying the perfect weather on and between the peaks but it never seemed over crowded at any point - especially on the ascent and descent routes. |
