Ken went hiking July 8, 2012 13 miles 2,250 feet gained
A beautiful day. Headed out mid=afternoon, hoping to beat the crowds, but I was wrong. Felt like I was back in NYC at Grand Central Station during the evening commute. Fortunately, once we passed the mine, the trail was ours. The rhodies and a deer on the trail made the crowds more bearable but this is probably a trip best saved for an off-season weekday.
