Comments
Comments: Trails were mostly dry. Kelton Crag was underwhelming (can't remember if the views were better however many years ago), but the Inlook was still great.

Brooks are low, but still flowing. Cold Brook Falls were still impressive.

Encountered a bear cup on Maple Walk, but no issues and no mama in sight.

Cloudy afternoon with a breeze in places and temperatures in the 60s.
