| Comments: |
Decided to try this loop because of the heat, humidity and threat of T-Storms. It did not disappoint. Getting into the gulch is easy/moderate, then once in the gulch, the AC comes on. Amazing to see the diversity of plant and tree growth within this area. Black Spruce, Red Spruce, Mountain Cranberry, Labrador Tea and Alpine Bilberry are among the notable flora. Some ice was still present at one low spot in the Vestibule. Trail is very well marked throughout. Thank you RMC for maintaining and preserving this special place. |
