 | Comments: |
Trails were generally dry with some areas of minor mud and avoidable wet ledge remaining from Friday's rain.
While there are still a lot of green leaves in the region, the foliage along the trails is quite nice. Perhaps the nicest portion is the Vista Trail (south ridge of Piper). The southern ledges along the trail also have a sunset perspective (and will through the end of the year, as the sunset progresses south). |
