Trails(s) Hiked:
Edmands Path, Eisenhower loop
Total Distance:
6.6 miles, 2750' elev. gain
Difficulty:
easy-moderate
Conditions:
Very humid, warm 60-73 deg., overcast
Special Required Equipment:
none
Trip Report:
The hike up Mt. Eisenhower would be relatively easy compared to other hikes of similar elevation gain if it were not for the very humid conditions today. Dave, Julie, and I were sweating buckets on the way up. A breeze above treeline made the last leg of the hike a little more tolerable and the descent went much better.
The Edmands Path is one of the nicer trails I've hiked, it's been very well maintained over the years.
The parking area here, off Mt. Clinton Road, gets alot of use. If you don't want to park along the road get here early.
The views from the col, trail junction, were pretty good considering the overcast skies. The summit however was clounded in.
All in all, another excellent hike.
Attention Robin and Dannette: Dave was the slowpoke on this hike. :lol:
