| Comments: |
14 Mile loop to get the 4 52WAV peaks and a swim in Emerald Pool. All peaks featured magnificent views, and the open panorama walking towards and after South Baldface is magical. Good day in the mountains. Some tougher ledges for our groups' dog to maneuver, but we all made it through unscathed. |
