 | Comments: |
The day was a bit humid, so that slowed me down some. It was interesting being able to see a storm to the west and another to the north from the summit. One missed us, the other didn't. Rained for about the bottom third of the trip down with thunder in the distance, but no lightning seen until back to the trail head. Both trails up/down have some exposed rock sections that could be slick when wet. |
