 | Comments: |
Even an early start wasn't enough to avoid the humidity, which made for a slow trip. Great views at Webster and Jackson (and just before Jackson). Good breeze on the peaks as well made for pleasant rest periods. Went down to Mizpah to grab some extra mileage, though the slow trip meant getting rained on for the final half mile. Elephant Head and Bugle Cliff are well worth checking out on the way up. Hydrate! |
