 | Comments: |
Trails in good shape overall, some erosion in spots. Some of the rocks and ledges before the summit were slimy and moist
Lots of people out today, but still found some quiet sections of trail along the way.
Beautiful day, sunny with some haze, probably 60 degrees plus on summit, very mild
Thanks to Kirsten and Shelley for a fun day and lots of laughs |
