Final full pack hike before I head back to the AT in VA and West VA. It felt great to hike with not a ton of layers today and even though the trails are softening, if you stayed on the monorail, you did not posthole. there are a few sections of trail that are unavoidable though and you will posthole. There is more rock exposed at the summit ledge than in the past so, Spring is definitely here! Always a great little hike of 1.5 miles one way. Enjoy! |
