Comments
Comments: Since this is Wedding Weekend and all my preparations are pretty much done, I wanted to sneak in a quick hike before picking my mom up at the train station. The tote road is leaf covered but there are no large rocks on it so it still is pretty cruisy. There are WAY more leaves on the Mt Zircon trail now. It's very leaf covered all the way up to where you break out above treeline. Watch your footing because the ankle biters are waiting to pounce and you can't see them. Above treeline the footing is great. The slab was nice and dry and grippy. The winds were moving this morning and the views were endless. What a gem this one is!
