Comments
Comments: Checked off my last trail on the west side of 113, and hit up East Royce for a look at the other set of ledges (which has a USFS radio repeater on it, who knew!) and the actual summit (which is in the trees). We thought we could beat the incoming precipitation, and as usual, we were wrong. Snowflakes started flying when we got to East Royce, and turned to drizzle as we descended. Still had great views, so I can't complain! Leaves in the lower reaches made for tricky footing, but it was a good tough hike to only narrowly get rained on!
