| Comments: |
The Mt. shaw Trail was very wet, with lots of leaves covering it. Trail was hard to follow in one or two spots. Very windy and cold on Mt. Shaw and on Black Snout but the views were great. Coming down Banana and Tate Mt. trails was much easier than going up Mt. Shaw Tr.!We visited Little Ball as we missed the junction to Tate Mt. Trail though, coming back up it was clearly marked...talking too much! Good day out with Cymbidium. |
