 | Comments: |
Trails in good shape other than the eroded spots on the steeps. We saw about a dozen people out doing the loop over these two mountains, most heading up North Hancock first. Fewer people on the trails than I expected. I haven't hiked the loop for over a decade, definite trail improvements since I was last out there.
