Today was yet another beautiful day on the summit! With mostly clear skies and beautiful reds and oranges in the valleys all around us, people came up to the summit to for the hike, for the views, and for the open air. With relatively calm winds and sunny skies, there was even a group of paragliders and hang gliders launching from the summit and flying around the summit cone! With beautiful weather in store for the next few days, now is as good a time as any to come up to the summit for a visit!
