| Comments: |
Barebooted to 2,500 ft. Lots of running water, expect your feet to get wet.
Once the ice began, Hillsounds were fine. The most slippery spot was the .3 to Liberty after the junction, take your time and you'll be fine. Saw only four other hikers, but we were down early.
Views were great, the trail was quiet, summit not windy - fabulous day! |
