 | Comments: |
Another gorgeous hiking day. First time in 7-8 years doing this loop. Same comments written in journal about Haselton being wet trail where many careful steps are necessary. Slow paced day but enjoyable conversations with several throughout day. Strongly recommend doing a loop here whichever side you hike up to take in the ridge walk between Chin and Nose. |
