Comments
Comments: Second day in the park. Had planned to do the other three peaks for the hundred highest, but after a tiring day yesterday I just concentrated on the 4K. It was a good hike and gorgeous weather. Looking forward to coming back to bag the other peaks.

Had a close encounter with a young black bear heading up the steep section above the swamp between the Coe Trail junctions.
