 | Comments: |
Great hike up to Pierce and did not summit Eisenhower due to high winds. There was a mixture of dry trail, wet trail, monorail, muddy trail, streamy trail and puddles. Most of this was avoidable. Sunny and warm. I saw 13 individuals hiking and 4 dogs. there were some black flies at the summit and along the ridge. The waterfalls were beautiful from the thaw and recent rain. |
