| Comments: |
we saw no one to the summit in morning on Bridle Path. once to the ridge things got busy with dozens of people out..several camp groups clustered around summits. In the fog on Lafayette but great views every where else on a fine day for this route with cool breezes and some clouds to keep the sun off a bit. Stretch over to Liberty a fun hike with great footing mostly tho some brushy spots tho they were dry today. Easy decent on liberty springs trail which was in fine mid summer shape. Good day out with Grumpy Gram , Cymbidium and Skirat who is closing in on her 48.. |
