 | Comments: |
What a day to be above tree line and do some redlining. Also, Emerald Bluff has amazing views of the Castle ravive, Castle ridge and the descent toward the Castle Ravine trail is spectacularly steep. We saw only one couple from Concord, ahead of us, we chatted briefly. otherwise, we had the trails to ourselves (Copper and I). |
