 | Comments: |
Took some co-workers up Jefferson for the first time, and despite the rugged terrain and getting heavily sunburned, we did well, and the views from the top and along the trail were excellent. Now I remember why I love Caps Ridge Trail- fun and challenging scrambling, easily accessible, modest length, and constant views for about half the hike. |
