 | Comments: |
We hiked this trail on a perfect bright clear day. The rains kept many areas of rock slick, so be careful on the scrambles and wear good shoes. We saw a lot of people go down (including us a few times). Do NOT recommend going clockwise especially right now. Significant trail erosion in spots leaving wet roots exposed; use trails have developed in several areas and near some of the wetter scrambles. Leaves are turning already and the views are unparalleled! It’s a good time to hike this trail if the weather stays dry. |
