Comments
Comments: Spectacular day for a hike. Started at 6:30am along Crawford connector then to Crawford path. Gibbs falls was flowing very well. Usual trail conditions of running water, wet rock, a little mud, and some small patches of ice snow. No extra traction needed. Took Mizpah cutoff and stopped by the Hut, very busy with guests/breakfast. Proceeded up to Pierce, then continued on to Eisenhower. Both summits were clear with clouds in the distance (of course Washington was occluded). Coming down Edmand's Path was not fun - lots of slippery rock with patches of ice/snow below the Eisenhower summit. Got better below treeline. Parking lot on Clinton road was packed at 2:00. That's 2 more off the list for me - making a total of 17
