 | Comments: |
Started somewhat late at 9am. Plenty of hikers along ammo trail. Gem pool was gorgeous but the cascades on the left past gem pool were even more incredible. easy to miss, look for it on the next time on your way up. Pretty steep after gem pool until lake of the clouds. Plenty of clouds and very windy with up to 30 mph steady. Monroe was easy to summit, worked our way over to Washington. Even windier and more people on the top of Washington. Working our way down we got some views down jewell trail. Overall great trip with 8 hours including break time on the top. |
