Richland Balsam was the re-acclimation hike I needed as I got elevation sickness right before the peak, so I went back down a little way and rested before going on to the peak, where I sat as long as I could tolerate the elevation. Gina and I had the trail to ourselves. I let her decide whether to go back the way we came or complete the loop, and we were rewarded with a great overlook. Last time I went first to the overlook, so all the signs were facing the other way. This time we had all the signs facing us.
