 | Comments: |
There was light rain or sprinkles, calling for rain gear, for the first half hour, then just sprinkles and tree drips for another hour or so. Low cloud ceiling eliminated any views. In general, this was a very damp hiking day, but an outing with the OTHH is always good. We had planned to do the loop to take in the Bulge and Horn, descent via Unknown Pond, but the cool dampness and there being no views killed interest in that. We encountered no other hikers until we stopped at the cabin. Then a group of six came in, having come up from another trail. After that there several other individual hikers. |
