 | Comments: |
Beautiful day. Winter conditions are clearly in the rearview mirror in this part of the state. There are still a few remnants of ice in the heavily shaded sharp dips on the ridge, but these are easily avoided and pose no obstacle whatsoever. Parts of the trail are a bit wet, but the ledges weren't too slippery. |
