What a gorgeous day! We hiked to the Adams Apple. Didn't do the Chin because I didn't want to risk my dog on the ledges of Eagle Pass if they were icy. Adams Apple spur trail was pretty much ice but with spikes it was easy to navigate. Beautiful on the Adams Apple. Lots of icy sections on the LT above Taft Lodge. Make sure you have your spikes packed from this point on. Winter is coming. |
