Comments
Comments: Trails dry with any wet spots fairly easily stepped through keeping feet dry while staying on path. We were surprised by solitude on the trails today. Only 4 met doing a Gondola to A Peak and back on the ridge today. Must have been lots on the Carters. More views now from spots where blowdowns cleared. First time I've done an out & back here. Noticed the extra elevation gains but lots of this route were very enjoyable hitting a second time on way out.
