| Comments: |
Great day up Franconia Ridge. Weather held off and we even got a view or 2 on our way up. Cleared completely for a bit when we were about halfway down. Lots of running water and slush especially in the last 1/2 mile before the summit. Monorail was holding, but if you stepped off at all, you were up to your junk. Gonna be a sucky couple weeks while it melts completely. |
