 | Dog-Related Notes: |
only saw two dogs and none of the peaks. These summits are not very dog friendly but the hike up to the Madison Hut is good for dogs. |
|
 | Bugs: |
very little breeze so bugs were swarming on the summit of Adams. A few bugs on the descent, I relented and brought out the bug spray about halfway down. Mostly annoying flies and midgies. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
I saw a yellow sleeping bag on the Air Line about halfway down from Adams. I left there figuring maybe someone left it there and will pick it up on the way down. But if you're missing a yellow sleeping bag that is where it is... |
