 | Comments: |
A really nice day with temps from 5 to 30, clear blue sky and no wind. Nice limited views at the summits and along the ridge. Also some nice views along the trail that we do not get when the leaves are out. Saw 3 other guys out for a walk with their dog. The footpath base was in good shape with about an inch of new snow at the beginning and about 3 inches on the loop trail. The ridge trail had a lot of snow drifts. |
