 | Comments: |
No Ice or snow on the trail which was a bonus. Saw 4 hikers and 2 trail runners. The trail is still fairly wet in spots which was the only issue. It was sunny on the way up, but the clouds moved in just before I hit the lookout tower. On the way down had a mix of light spotty rain, some flurries and occasional sun. |
