Trail Maintenance Notes

Comments
Comments: The trail below treeline was mostly damp from the recent rain, with some scattered drier ground and mud. Above treeline, it was mostly dry with some scattered wet rocks and ledges. Unseasonably cold and chilly today- the temps were in the 20s to 30s on the mountain, with wind chills in the mid-teens. Felt weird (but kind of nice) to have to wear winter layers in summer!
