Comments
Comments: Thought I was in trouble when I saw all the cars pulling in at 9am, but I had plenty of time alone on the trail, and there was plenty of room on both peaks to spread out.
Awesome blue bird day. Outstanding views. It's short; so makes a great recovery hike. I recommend doing North first, and save the views on Middle for last.
