Comments
Comments: Great Spring warmup loop. Weather and views were great. No major snow or ice issues, the only snow now is in the deep saddles on Meader Ridge but traction is definitely not needed on this loop. Honestly the pesky beech leaves were the challenge of the day, both with the ascent of the Meader knee and the descent down Baldface Circle.
