Comments
Comments: Trail was generally dry, with the exception of a decent amount of mud in places on the lower part of the Welch side (generally avoidable with stepping stones). Ledge slabs were mostly dry with some minor, avoidable wet spots.

Nice afternoon with temperatures perhaps touching on 70. Not much in way of wildflowers in bloom, but did see violets and hobblebush.
