 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw quite a few and had one with us on the trip. Plenty of water sources. Had one encounter where the dog would not stop barking at me with the owner saying "she is really a friendly dog". LOL. No biggie though I find this statement comical. |

For most of the day it snowed and made for beautiful scenery. The temps at the summit were very cold, must have been 10 F at best. Had a lot of fun hiking in the snow, can't wait for winter. Fun hike and as usual an awesome workout. |
