 | Comments: |
Bald peak on pleasant mountain - out for a quick afternoon hike and taking a few new trails, bald peak trail was wet on the way up with a few stretches of wet rock on the steeper sections. Hot and humid on the way up slowing the pace - clouds and haze so only near in views from the top today - north ridge trail was actually quite dry over to the ski area. Heading down Sue's way got caught in the rain so everything wet on the way down - but it did cool things down. |
