 | Comments: |
Trails were quite mucky this morning following yesterday's rain and including today's humidity.
First half or so of the ascent up Osceola was wet trail, mud, and wet/slippery rock. Above there, a lot of stretches of running water.
Wet trail between the peaks and slippery rock. Chimney had some water running down it, but folks were able to ascend.
Humid morning with temperatures in the 70s. Summits were in the fog for most of the morning, but some sun broke through as noon approached. Darker clouds visible in the rear view mirror on the drive home. |
