 | Comments: |
Great day to do a normally crowded loop. Despite mid-60s, clear skies and a nice breeze, almost no one was out mid-week. I even had all summits to myself!
More importantly - the trails are in great shape. A few small spots of ice and snow, but all were tiny and easily avoided. Safe without spikes for now but keep them in the bag. |
