 | Comments: |
Trails were generally dry and in good shape. Warm temperatures, gusty winds on northwestern exposed areas. Running water on Air Line Cutoff. Some minor mud on lower trails. No ice encountered.
Fall foliage probably past peak up here, but still some good colors in places.
Congratulations to Becca M. on finishing the Grid on Mt. Adams! |
