 | Comments: |
Trail was generally dry, but there was muck in the usual areas.
Very busy day on the trail; about the busiest I've ever seen it. Conga line of folks later in the morning, quite a few of whom didn't seem to know what they were hiking.
Nice sunny day with temperatures in the 70s down low, but a bit breezy (refreshing) up top. |
