 | Comments: |
Only a teeny bit of ice here and there, nothing you couldn't easily step over. We brought our 'spikes, since you never know what to expect up there this time of year, but we didn't need to use them.
Saw what I felt were a ton of people for a Wednesday after Columbus Day. Each year, the 4Ks get more crowded. Everyone was nice and having a good time.
There will be a trip report on my blog at some point this weekend. |
