Day started off in the clouds and most. We were hoping that the weather forecast was right and the clouds would burn off by the time we got up to Zeacliff. On our way to Zealand it was just starting to clear up.
Past Zeacliff there were a lot of sections of snow and ice but no traction is needed. There was also a lot of mud and running water on the trail at times.
On our way back down from Zealand Mt. there was blue skies and not a cloud in the sky. Amazing how a little patience will go a long way. We were excited to stop back at Zeacliff and we were not let down. Sweeping views of the Pemi and a great, unique view of Carrigan notch.
The Zealand falls were full with water and were very impressive. |
