I posted a trail report for a summit trip on 9/10/08, and want to mention my impressions of some of the folks on the trail.. A snow storm that moved in accented the fact that a number of people were unprepared for the weather. Shorts, t-shirts, no gloves, no waterproof outer layer, etc. Be prepared with the right clothing, especially this time of year. Late summer brings the potential for challenging weather. Also hiking poles are invaluable as snow/ice buildup leaves you vulernable to slips/falls. SAFETY should always be your first priority.
