 | Comments: |
Nice little loop hike around Mt. A. The fog burned off nicely and we had some good views from the summit and the fog over the ocean made for almost undercast looking skies. Lots of people out and about enjoy a 50 degree Boxing Day! That said there was still a fair amount of ice on the slabs that we wished we had our spikes for. |
