Still SOBOs starting, plenty of NOBOs behind me.
North of about Mt. Ellen, good water is starting to get scarce, although with the recent rains maybe that's gotten better.
The section north of Johnson is pretty muddy and in some places down to a herd path.
The Wilderness section north of Rutland is also pretty rough.
700+ people on the Saturday I climbed Mansfield (where it was 80 F and sunny).
Foliage wasn't good until Smuggler's Notch, I'm sure it's really peaking now.
