 | Comments: |
Great to run into HikerEd on the Eisenhower summit, also Dave and Thor in the Ammo parking lot. This was a wonderful day to be above treeline! Summits in and out of wispy clouds with valleys filled with undercast. Tee shirt and shorts day from start to finish. No traction or floation was needed. |
