 | Comments: |
a very hazy day for views, but profiles of distant peaks still appreciated. a warm, but not meltdown day; a good one to have enough water. the variety of trail types adds interest and fun (for those who like ledge scrambles). go with experienced dogs unless you like lifting at ledges.
Kestrel data: T=68F W=0mph WC=68F.
always nice folks, dogs now have many new friends. |
