Ascent Trip ReportMore people than I expected on the trail on the 4th of July. We made great time going up. Weather was great. Trail was a simple stroll thru a meadow until we hit the rocky part of the mountain. We stayed on top of Grays for almost an hour. Short but steep walk over to Torreys. Weather got pretty cloudy. We took some stupid photos with "which 'wich" bags (never redeemed). Bit of a sprinkle on the way down. Took just as long to get down as it did to go up.
