| Comments: |
We only went as far as the overlook (over Tuckerman) just above the "Alpine Zone" sign, due to a prior commitment I had to be home for later. Also, I was just too damn slow and short (and burnt out from a busy week) to make good time over the steep jumble of boulders that makes up most of this trail. There were beautiful views, so I was very disappointed to have to turn back. The original plan was to walk on those lovely relatively cairn-filled trails above tree line. Oh well.... We're lucky enough to live in MA, so we can always come back! And we will, eventually. |
