 | Comments: |
Trails were mostly dry and in good shape. Took the Beeline to get up to the summit without getting slowed down by the descending crowds. Minimal blueberries to be found in heavily traveled areas, but plenty to be found just past the summit heading toward Straightback, as well as tons on Straightback.
Fantastic weather - crisp air, nice breeze, far reaching views, temperatures in the upper 60s/lower 70s. |
