Did a dark, cloudy, and wet after work hike up Mt. Major today. The trails were in good shape besides the usual erosion issues (see Trail Maintenance Notes). Despite the low clouds, I did get some views from the top. Even more shocking was how quiet Major was- I only saw two people the whole hike! Had the summit and the whole hike down all to myself! I have NEVER seen Mt. Major this quiet. Really cool but a bit freaky too. Up in 30:51, down in 27:36. |
