 | Comments: |
Foliage looked to be near peak this morning; unfortunately my timing had me in steady rain and clouds while up higher without views. Up Ridge Tr. and down Fire Tower Tr. is my preference when trails wet. Ridge Tr. can be slick in the mud if going down (newer trail). As always chances are that I've been up here more recently than this report and if I can help out with any info give me a shout (cell no. in email section). |
