 | Comments: |
Trail was generally dry with some muddy areas. Some mud in the usual places down low and then more mud than expected between the peaks. All easy enough to get around but it would be nice to have some more dry weather. The brook crossings were a little higher today due to recent rains but still were not too bad to cross using some submerged rocks and minorly wet feet. A large group of hikers were out today with their Wednesday group and helped remove a couple smaller blowdowns, thank you!!! Nice views from the summit with the clear skies today. |
