Looking up the Edmands Path
Route: Edmands Path, Eisenhower Loop, (Mt. Eisenhower), Eisenhower Loop, Edmands Path
After some heavy overnight rain, the Edmands Path was a bit muddy. Though the trail was crowded during the ascent, I had the summit and descent to myself. While the temperature was around 80 degrees when I started, the summit temperature looked to be in the lower 50s with a light but brisk wind.
The return drive on Mt. Clinton Road took longer than usual, as a bull moose decided to trot down the road for awhile.
