We day hiked the main trail on Wednesday, August 25. A glider or maybe a sail plane skimmed above the summit when we were there--between noon and 1 pm. Does anyone know who this is, or how they do it? After entertaining hikers on the summit, the pilot soared even higher up into the clouds. It was spectacular.

Probably just another pilot who "slipped the surly bonds of earth & danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings-----"
