 | Comments: |
Had the whole place to myself, seeing no one. Icy patches in the open deciduous forest below, the pines in the middle, and the ledges up top. At times the trail was a sheet of ice. Decent but not spectacular views from the ledges to the top - clouds were moving in. Good views of Smarts of Cube to the south. Moose a bit covered in clouds. |
