 | Comments: |
Stellar day. Clear. Trails in excellent shape. Wet leaves and wet pine needles on damp rock slabs will be slippery. Give yourself extra time on lower sections of Red Ridge Trail for navigation. Leaves obscure trail. Blazes are faded or too far apart in critical areas, towards bottom by the rivers where leaves are deep and forest gets that 'it all looks the same' look. |
