 | Comments: |
Lower elevations the trails were absolutely beautiful and dry. Ran into a stretch of mud further in, but it's largely avoidable due to well placed rocks and roots. Snow is still present at higher elevations, but the monorail was amazingly stable. Spikes will be needed for the final steeper climb up to the summit. |
