Comments
Comments: Nice OTHH mid-late fall outing, although chilly and breezy, especially up top. We were glad to have layers. As we got higher, the light snow showers got more obvious, but it would be a stretch to say it was accumulating on the trail. We carried traction but bare-booted the whole trip, just taking care, especially with the leaves. Not much view up top today.
