| Comments: |
A last minute afternoon hike over these peaks, going counterclockwise. The trail and most of the ledges are dry. Just a few wet areas on the Dickey side, and two minuscule and rapidly disappearing spots of snow in the col. This weekend will be a different story with the incoming storm.
Great views as always and light foot traffic on the loop. Nice to run into Ryan, Jason and Leah out there today. |
