 | Comments: |
No view this morning, too much fog at the summit, the trail is very dry and dusty. The "last reliable water" on Gorge Brook barely had a trickle. We expected to see crowds by mid morning and did we ever. Dozens of folks climbing up as we came down. It's high foliage season so pick your peaks accordingly. |
