 | Comments: |
Rocks were wet but grippy for the most part. Trails are in great shape. No views on Lincoln or Lafayette this morning. Flume and Liberty were on and off with clouds moving through. To the person who left their or their dog’s feces in a green bag near the top of Lincoln, what a classy move. A great morning to be out in the fog and clouds. Rain held off which was nice. |
