 | Comments: |
Met a spruce grouse between main peak and East peak. Skies were hazy and overcast today so not the usual impressive views but still a great trip. Encountered two pet peeves: 1) human waste a toilet paper next to the trail - This is about the 5th hike this summer where I have seen this. Come on folks - leave no trace! 2) Someone decided to tear a number of the orange trail maintenance flags off the trees. The folks who dedicate their time to maintain the trails work hard enough - let's not make their work harder! |
