Comments
Comments: 50+ mile views. Surprisingly low temps, low chill factor and gusty winds (over 30 mph) on/near summits. Love seeing the lime greens of new leaves in the valleys.

No real monorail on Liberty Springe. Off and on monorail between Flume and Liberty, more so heading up Flume. No monorail on Osseo.
