|  |  |  | Comments: | My favorite route up.   Only saw a couple people until I got to the upper junction.  Excellent views/scenery but very blustery and crowded at summit - I tagged it and headed back down. |  |  |  |  | Name: | Becca Munroe |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: | beccahiker@yahoo.com |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2018-06-09 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
