It would have been a perfect late summer bluebird kind of day except for the smoky haze hanging over the valleys and obscuring the views.Even with a late 10am start and a less than fast pace we were on top of Little Arethusa by 12 noon ready to enjoy a full hour lunch in the warm sun, and no wind either.

After leaving the small summit area for other parties to enjoy we went around the cirque in a nice and pleasant walk arriving at the cars at 3:15.
