 | Comments: |
Terrific day - had the summit and trails to myself. Very gusty on summit - I had to hunker down at base of top rock and keep a firm hold on my lunch bag. Other than that, no problems. No rain other than a few drops once in a while. Nice to revisit this trail - haven't been on it in a long time and I really do enjoy this one. |
