Comments
Comments: Late start so I had to park in the Flume lot. Warmup on Whitehouse, quick to split I thought about the Slide but opted for Liberty Spring. With the lot full I was expecting a cluster of people but I only passed 4 heading up. Trails are bone dry except for some minor mud between the peaks. Not many folks out on both peaks, cold & windy on Liberty early. Still windy but much warmer on the way back. Warm no wind on Flume, found a solo spot just over summit for lunch & hazy views. Many Nobos seen especially at the tent-site filling water. Uneventful down passed many heading down & up. Trail magic at the beginning of Whitehouse in the afternoon, you folks are amazing!
