| Comments: |
A good day for this peak as the Bonds and Franconia Range were in the clouds from the few views along the trails. Temps from 25 to 35 with overcast clouds then cloudy and some sun in the afternoon. The trails were covered with a trace of snow to about 2 inches on the summit. Saw 4 hikers coming down as I was near the peak. Trails were good except for the breakable ice on the muddy spots. Today I have completed 8 rounds of the 48NH4K's. |
