 | Comments: |
Trails were damp this morning with fog/clouds passing through. Areas of minor mud and water running down the trail. Brook Trail ledges were wet and slippery. Liberty ledges were drier/more grippy.
Summit was busy, but saw no one on the Brook Trail, and Liberty wasn't too bad either. Foliage still generally green, but some red hobblebush. Also noted some yellows in the Piper Trail valley below. Nice partly sunny day as the fog parted with temperatures hitting the low 70s. |
