 | Comments: |
Trails were generally damp with the foggy conditions following the rain. Upper ledges were drying out with the wind, but the scramble ledges were still damp and needed caution. Lots of wildflowers in bloom. Fog concealed any views on the summits. Quick side trip to the lime kilns is worthwhile. |
