 | Comments: |
A clockwise loop over these peaks today. The trails were mostly damp / wet due to earlier rains, with several muddy areas. Some ledges were slick, but were fine with care. Despite the crowded parking, it didn't feel like we passed that many people.
Good views from all three summits today, as the weather here was better than further north, which was the Plan A. There was only one brief shower while making our way to Piper. Still hot and humid though. Enough with that already. |
