 | Comments: |
My son and a couple of friends wanted to go on a presi traverse so I volunteered to drive them to one end and do a peak or two with them. We started up Jackson in clouds and sprinkles. While we were on Jackson there was some serious rain so the rocks then got slippery. We continued across the Webster cliff trail to the Mizpah hut. It was raining pretty good by then so we went in for a bit. I originally wanted to go to at least Eisenhower with the group but the rain decided for me and I chose to head down.
As the rest continued on their 20 mile walk to Madison I went down the Mizpah cutoff and back to my truck. Still a great day to be out because any day in the hills is a great day. |
