Vesper Peak — Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023

Colors are stunning! Trail in good condition. Wet and root-y in places and therefore slower than regular return trip to the car. Hornets at 1.25 miles we’re active and angry at 7am but I never saw them on the way back around 1pm. Saw maybe 10 people total. Probably about 10 cars at the TH when I departed. Fresh auto glass on the ground at the TH but all cars were intact on this day.
