 | Comments: |
A fun, uneventful hike. 19 MBT is in great condition. It was a bit wet in the afternoon but otherwise was fine. There was a good sized snow patch .5 or so from the hut that wasn't an issue and is quickly melting. The Wildcat Ridge trail up to 'A', even though wet and slippery, wasn't a problem going up.
Coming down was a different story. Water combined with trail gunk to make for some very slippery spots. The sun came out on the way back down 19 MBT making for a fitting end of the day. |
