 | Comments: |
A nice fall hike with warm temps and miles of views up top under clear skies. Lots of leaves on the trail through the switchbacks but footing good. A few spots of mud that are easily avoided. Up top where trail joins back with the old trail- stretch of 1/3 mile where stream runs down the trail - fairly easy to navigate but there are a few spots where you just have to get your boots wet. |
