 | Comments: |
A "black and white" day with the high dark clouds of the approaching storm and the white snow on the Presidentials. Temps from 10 to 30 and no wind. Saw about 20 hikers on the 19 Mile Brook Trail on my return but saw only 1 on the C-M Trail near South Carter. I really like the views from Middle Carter looking into the Wild River Wilderness and also across the notch to the northern presis. A great day for a hike. |
