Comments
Comments: This is my first post, hope it's o.k. I hesitated to even check off water on the trails, it was so minor (but do be careful of the few slippery rocks). I don't think any one could have asked for a better day than this! Beautiful clear blue skies; the views from Galehead porch and the two summits were excellent (other than the blackflies)!


These were #27 and #28 for my daughter and me, not enough time for #29 (would have been North Twin). Many happy people out enjoying the day!
