 | Comments: |
Ascended the southern portion of the Yellow Trail from the scout camp. From the mess hall, I followed the signs to Sunset Lake, where the roads transition to trail.
Trail was mostly dry. Not much in way of fall foliage yet.
Via this route, it was 1.1 miles from the admin building to the summit.
Stunning sunset. |
