Gorgeous day in Rim country so I hit Gibson for a quick loop. The off-trail segment up the ridgeline has become my favorite part (wore pants this time). Had the place all to myself. Temps were in the 30s but I was still sweaty upon reaching the summit. Had lunch at my usual spot as light snow flurries came down. Views of the Mazzies, Rim, and Sierra Ancha were awesome. Encountered a couple elk and a pack of javelina. Both tanks were frozen over.
