 | Comments: |
Tough going on the tail from R16 to E peak, even harder on the way down, and distance between D and C can get quite tedious. A tough hike as an out and back but it's what we chose for today. Tail is in great shape and this time of year it is cooler on the ridge line and a healthy breeze moving through. No bugs either. Nice day for it. Good to see them running the ski lift even in summer so families can enjoy the top and have a picnic in the nice area they have set up up there. |
