Lovely day for a hike. Colors are just starting to appear. Pretty easy going until the ladder section, which required careful footing around the missing rungs. No wind at the lookout, though ice was falling from the trees at the summit cairn. A few wet areas needed careful footing, though the leaf fall is not yet significant. The trail was popular today, though we had long sections without running into anyone. |
