Due to the warm temps and lack of wind, we joked that we might see some "summit bugs", but alas, no |

very short sections of ice and snow but no traction needed today..nice to have the rocks around the caps all nice and dry
Absolutely gorgeous day out on Mt Jeff with 10-15mph winds at the summit and wall-to-wall sunshine. Only saw three other hikers all day. All that winter gear in our packs felt kind of silly, but we carried it all the way to the summit and back. Caps are always fun! Thanks to Mark for a great day out! Happy Thanksgiving! V-- |
