| Comments: |
Did a loop up Crawford Path, over to Jackson, down Mizpah Cut-off and back to Crawford Path to return to the parking lot. Quite a few folks on the trail today. It was nice to run into Hiker Ed, and then the AMC mentored hike, filled with friends. In retrospect, it was much more time consuming to go over to Jackson that way- full of broken monorail/ water/ mud/ ice and scrambles trying to avoid the sludge! Traction was not needed, but carried all day. A great day all-in-all as always with my hiking partner! |
