Comments
Comments: The trail was pretty dry in the beginning with just a little mud here and there. Once you get up on the ridge there was much more ice and traction was needed. The section between the two overlooks was quite icy and much colder.


I met up with several other hikers on this Monday holiday but I was the only one who got the great views. I was on top at 9:00 AM and the clouds rolled in soon after that.
