Trip Report

It was unexpected to have such a sunny afternoon for a December solstice celebration. it was also a surprise to have the moon so visible as we started up the trail. On the summit another group was snacking and drinking at the Mt. Pisgah Sighting Pedestal so it wasn't easy for us catch a glimpse of the sun rays trying to shine through a stand of trees. No matter, it was a beautiful evening with the sun setting above the low white clouds. It was a spectacular celestial show. Thanks to Sandra who helped lead.
