| Comments: |
Lovely day for a stroll today! Started out a bit below freezing, temps up on the ridge and at the summit were in lower 20s or upper teens, winds at the summit were 10-15 steady with gusts 20-25, but down lower in the trees the wind was a complete non-issue, actually felt pretty nice! 36F at the trailhead at the end (around 4pm) made for some pretty significant mashed potatoes for the last two miles or so |
