 | Comments: |
Mud and running water everywhere under treeline. But the terrain dries out when you break tree cover. Same holds true for the bugs. The forecasted partly sunny day never materialized, mostly socked in, with the occasional limited view.
Weather, muck and bugs aside, still one of the most enjoyable trail in the presis.
What happened to the iconic towering summit cairn? Sadly, it appears to have been dismantled to half its former size. |
