| Comments: |
Great Hike today - up Webster over to Jackson, continued to Mizpah and down Crawford with a short road walk back to the car. Trails were dry with just small patches of mud on all trails but easily avoided or just stepped through. usual spots of running water but rocks on the steep ascents and descents were all nice and dry. Many out today including a number of groups of north and south bound thru hikers. Full house at the hut. High level clouds but all peaks out and visible. |
