| Comments: |
It was a great day to be out, with clear views of the Presidentials throughout the hike! I took Wildcat Ridge up, despite knowing that it was pretty steep, but kind of had the wind knocked out of me with how difficult it was. Took Polecat ski trail down to avoid descending down the ridge and it was easy to follow with a pretty clear trail that hikers have tamped down. |
