 | Comments: |
Gorge Brook Trail had some mucky spots, but was generally dry. Some insignificant patches of monorail ice prior to treeline.
Carriage Road had a few insignificant patches of monorail ice prior to the Glencliff junction. Amazing how much softer/smoother the footing is immediately below the Snapper junction. A few mud pits further down.
Hurricane Trail was mostly dry with mostly good footing. Lots of wildflowers, including wood anemone.
Beautiful morning with blue skies and temperatures climbing into the upper 60s. Not particularly busy via this timing/order of trails. |
