Incredibly beautiful day today, some muddy sections of the trail, and the water was running just right for us to hop over but also to dip our heads in and cool off. We saw no one on the trail all day, but a few groups came up while we were eating lunch on top. Chatted a bit with a real nice couple from CT.
On the way down saw many many groups who got late starts. Most were just going up for a bit and others told me they were going to ethan pond for the night. One group of ridiculously cute young girls were traveling to the pond with their father. It was adorable. |
