Comments
Comments: Trails were mostly dry this afternoon.

Unfortunately there are prominent herd paths developing on the Ledges Iron Mine Trail that will likely cause significant damage over time (erosion, trail creep, loss of delineating trees) if they are not discontinued.

Lift construction continues on the summit, but the ziplines are operating.

Cloudy afternoon with a breeze and temperatures in the lower 60s.
