| no partners | | My husband and I started on the trail about 0815, the weather was slightly overcast and 55 degrees with a light breeze. Made it to the saddle just under 2 hours. To my surprise, there was no wind, but there was an occasional breeze to put a slight chill in the air. The temp was about 55-60 degrees, with the sun breaking out of the clouds. We then continued on to the summit of Humphrey's peak and made it there at 1100. The summit sign was not there, just the pole that once held it. Still got a few pics there anyway. The weather on the peak was beautiful. Still mostly overcast and not much cooler than the saddle. Once in a while there was a breeze. But, for the most part, this may have been one of the better days to hike this peak.
The trail was mildly busy, not much more busy than previous hikes I have been on up there. Lots of beautiful dogs on the trail. There were 3 rangers hiking to the peak as well.
On the descent down, the clouds became more ominous with a hint of rain off in the distance. About 1/2 way down the trail, there were a few sprinkles, but not much to worry about. Looking back at the peak, heavier clouds were threatening with rain. Looks like we headed down in time to beat the inclement weather.
It was a great day to hike Humphrey's, I hope to do another trail next year to get a different perspective of this beautiful area.
Oh, by the way, my GPS logged the trip as 7.84 miles. |
