We started at Mountain Lake about 1020am. A beautiful morning that warmed up quickly! We enjoyed the side trip to Little Summit and then pushed on to the top of Mt Constitution where the views were spectacular and the number of people on top was not too bad. Not sure of the temperature, but it felt downright hot! We went down via the Twin Lakes trail.
Lots of bikes on the trail, which made it a little squishy in narrow spots, but everyone was courteous and friendly.
The trail was very dry, and the dogs appreciated the few and far between water sources along the way.
After dinner and a footrest at our camp spot in Midway, we drove back to the top for sunset views from the tower. Unfortunately, the cell towers and trees blocked the best of it, but we got the idea! A gorgeous day and evening on the island.
