 | Comments: |
Trails were generally dry with a few sprinkles this morning (looked sunny just south of the lakes). There were some areas of running water and mud (Crawford Ridgepole near Morgan in particular).
Quiet to start, but lots of folks ascending Morgan later in the morning.
Foliage is mostly green, but the colors are starting to show above 2,000 feet.
Support liberty. |
