| Comments: |
Perfect day on the ridge. The foliage has popped, it was cool temps and no wind to speak of. Falling Waters in pretty good shape, some wet ledges and muddy spots but the rock wasn't slippery. Lots of serious mud on the ridge between Little Haystack and Liberty. Forgot how many sharp rocks there are on the Liberty Springs trail, sore feet by the time we hit the car! Lots of happy hikers today. |
