 | Comments: |
Decided to skip the weekend White Mountain freakshow and do one of my favorites. Saw seven other hikers all day. Did it clockwise with the pooch so we avoided the ledges. First time on Bicknell Ridge. Great trail with super views in to the Baldface cirque. I wish every 4k in NH was half as good as these peaks. |
