Comments
Comments: Several individuals and small groups steadily coming down as my friend and I headed up. Mass exodus ahead of forecasted showers, or impeccable timing on our part?! We had the fire tower and summit to ourselves, and we enjoyed it for a good 45 minutes before heading down. Got some rain showers as we headed down, but tree cover shielded most of it. One person on the way up as we left. Great 360 views from the fire tower. I can't believe I waited so long to hike this one.
