 | Comments: |
Decided to wait out the weekend and hike on a quieter day. Not quite as nice weather-wise, but still some excellent views from the fire tower. Very few people out; all followed social distancing.
Noticed there are still some patches of ice at higher elevation but all of it was avoidable. Made for some muddy and occasionally wet trails due to runoff, but it was nothing severe.
