| Comments: |
Latte Man hiked with me up to Glen Boulder and then met me later on the Boott Spur Trail on the way down. I met four other groups of 2-3 hikers each, plus one teenage boy running alone down the Davis Path with a toy (?) gun and apparently little else. That seemed unusual so I reported it at the visitor center and I hope he's o.k.
The wind was forecast to gust 30-50 in the morning and 25-40 in the afternoon, which seemed accurate. Layers and two different hats were on and off a lot, between the colder open sections and the warmer wooded sections. Views were terrific all day. |
