It was a great morning on my out and back from Flume. Trails were in good condition and dry with the usual running water across sections of Liberty Spring Trail. Had great views of all the surrounding peaks. It was quite chilly and windy when I first summited Liberty. Flume was magnificent and calm. Second time on Liberty it was much warmer and not as windy. I ended up trail running down LST from Liberty and one smooth section of trail I tripped on the only stupid rock there and down I went in a pile. haha.. Luckily I got no real damage other than my pride and a little road rash on my arm and leg. All in all it was great day. I had Liberty and Flume all to myself in the earlier morning which surprised me a little. I didn't run into anyone until my way back from Flume. |
