Philomena Spring using Humphrey Summit Trail

Much colder and wetter than hoped for, but the summit was nice. I had it to myself again for my 45 minutes to hour spent on top. I paid a visit to the spring, traveling cross country to it from below instead of descending to it. The forest was cold, moist, and dark with the clouds and I realized I am pushing it, as it isn't fall yet. I would like to wait until the fall conditions arrive to come back to the Peaks, perhaps coming from the Inner Basin for a change.

My 90th summit was fairly unremarkable. Lots of humidity around and distance views were shot. Felt less special than the others, but I have been up here doing it pretty frequently. Perhaps, a visit to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, or Tucson is in order? The tundra plants really look like fall is here, and I found an area of landslide up around 12,000'.
