 Soft morning glow... Good afternoon trail hikers, blog readers, and mountain enthusiasts alike! Writing from the mountain top which has once again decided to keep us on our toes about the weather! This morning was clear and beautiful, but just like yesterday, the clouds have rolled in and are battling it out with the sun for sky time. Yesterday's high was 68 and the low was 51. Currently, we are (for the moment, at least) at a sunny 63 degrees. There is a chance of isolated thunderstorms in the mountains this afternoon, so needless to say, pack for rain and as park dispatch advised me this morning "don't stand in the lightning!" (That made me giggle early this morning!). Happy hiking!

Pretty good one, Cp! Gave me a good little chuckle! Never thought of it before, but are there lightening rods on the lodge buildings or because trees are taller, do they act as your lightening rods? I guess if your hiking up high, you don't want to be the tallest in the group either! All kidding aside, do you guys have a frequent problem with lightening up there? My daughter did her geology field work high in the Colorado mountains and I remember her saying storms rolling in with frequent lightening was a real problem, a little unnerving and a little scary. They would have to come down to lower elevations or at least get as low to the ground as they could if caught in a storm. You all have a great Sunday! Comments are closed.
