Comments
Comments: Trail was mostly dry, a couple stretches of ledge mid trail were wet and a little slick. A little bit of snow/traces of degraded monorail in the shade below the summit, totally avoidable.

Crystal clear day, views in all directions, especially from fire tower, a perfect day to play hooky from work.
