Titus enjoyed his time above treeline, and had plentiful opportunities to wallow below treeline. |

Not bad until the summit of Adams, where they were bothersome as usual. A few hanging about below Gray Knob, but otherwise minimal. |

 | Comments: |
A simple, not the most direct by any stretch of the imagination, loop of Adams. Explored some of the less used connector trails, and enjoyed all that the RMC trails have to offer. Hazy views ruled today, and the summit was in and out of the clouds while we were there. Lots of people out, even on some of the lesser traveled trails. Had a good day with Titus, Hannah, and Rachel. |
