Comments
Comments: Blue skies and glowy leaves on this mountain today. Probably just past peak, but still lovely. Saw lots of people but not to the point of too many. Great views from the summit of South, and the ledges of North. Seemed to be warm air aloft today, summit was warmer than the parking area.

Spur to North summit was better marked/more obvious than my last time here a few years ago.
