 | Comments: |
This was the crown jewel of the 52WAV and my finisher. Bright, sunny morning followed by thunderstorms after I was back below treeline. This hike offers a lot of above-treeline exposure. Slabs going up Baldface Circle Trail were a little wet. Be careful if that's the case and go slow. |
