 | Comments: |
A loop for redliners, or a loop that only a redliner could love. A less than ideal day for it, but I took what I could get. King Ravine is awesome, and I will be returning to hit the other trails in there. Chemin des Dames was excellent, steep and challenging, though too short. Kelton Trail was another standout, with great viewpoints and a fantastic footbed. All in all, a nice, no summits, loop to make as the fall colors are becoming apparent. |
