Comments
Comments: Beautiful day to be out walking around in the woods. The only bummer was the wimpy temporary sign at the summit and the knocked-over cairns.

I was amazed first by the weather- didn't even have to put on a jacket at the summit and the views we good- and then by the lack of crowds- only two others on top, and I passed three groups on my way down.
