 | Comments: |
Trails are in good shape overall, brought Microspikes/Hillsounds but they were never needed. Only a few ~30 ft fields of soft spring snow to be found on the last 0.4 mi of the summit cone on Tuck's, and 2 small areas on the upper/summit section of Nelson Crag Tr. Too early yet for a tour of alpine flowers, though we did see some Mountain Azalea and Lapland Rosebay starting to bloom on the Nelson Crag Tr. and many Trout lilies and Trillium on Old Jackson Rd.Today was the first day for the Cog and Summit building to be open, so that meant chili and tchotchkes for all:) Fun day with Ted & the Broncore crew. |
