 | Comments: |
A misty day hiking in a cloud. No views but flowers and singing birds were fabulous and made up for it. Saw 7 other people, one NOBO thru-hiker on South Twin. Trail was wet the whole way ranging from damp to mud to long stretches of deep puddles -- especially between North and South. But, plenty of well-placed rocks made for easy travel and dry feet. Hearing 2 Bicknell's Thrush sing was a real treat. |
