Lovely day in the woods, with some really nice views. The soft lighting offered by a very thinly overcast sky really brought out some incredible colors in our now nearly-naked mountain. Ran into extremely few folks, maybe six groups altogether, but the highlight was crossing trails with Mountainkat on the way up! While we were chatting, two groups of six others passed, but all must've gotten lost. Harleigh and I had the summit to ourselves when we got up there. So good to get back to this trail, after not having been there for over three years now.

Congrats on the 700 and counting. I'm hoping to hit 500 this year. It took me a long time to realize pic 8 was a slice of pizza. Nice long distance shots as well!!

Nice pictures, as usual! Glad we chose the same trail that day!

WW: Looks like you'll crack that number with no problem. I'm 7/8 of the way to my goal, with the year 5/6 over, so odds are not horrible of out-hiking last year. (Isn't leftover pizza just The Best trail food? ;-)

MK: What a fun surprise to run into you two up there! Would be great to share another trail - in the same direction - some day!

Definitely, Karl! If you need a hiking partner sometime - that would be awesome!
