Comments
Comments: Dry down low, way more puddles after the midday rain storm. Patchy obnoxious monorail first appears at 3900' becoming more consistent after the ridge junction onto the AT. The last stretch up to the summit was a little interesting but easily made it up and down without spikes. Took the herd path and bridge for the lower crossing both ways
