 | Comments: |
Beautiful day with clear views of Boston, Monadnock, Watatic and the Uncanoonuc Mountains. Very chilly but not terribly windy, even at the summit. The trails were well broken, and I had to ditch the snowshoes at the summit--very little snow was still clinging up top. Great day to be out! |
