 | Comments: |
Pretty light traffic considering what a beautiful day it was for hiking. Did the loop clockwise, as recommended, and was glad I did. Trail down from South had some sliding because of loose rock and dirt. One small patch of remaining monorail between the peaks. Ridge Trail was very easy. Going up North was tough, as expected, but slow going made it very doable. Ran into a couple people who came up the Arrow Slide at the lookout by North. Aside from the .6 up North and .5 down South an incredibly quick hike. Trail was easy to follow. |
