There's a time and place for dump - and - cover, but a slow - paced,
chilly fall weekend or a
cold winter
day sheltered against the brutal wind and snow isn't that time.
That site is empty now; the Mountain House is gone, as are the stairs and in the
colder months of the year, as in the darker
chillier hours of the
day, the trail and the
falls are left mostly bare of tourists as well.
