 | Comments: |
Much nicer day than anticipated. Excellent view to Presidentials near the top in late afternoon. Warm temps, very little wind and some sun while on top made for nice afternoon hike. Around 10 hikers on this route today; all in snowshoes; but softening FWT somewhat chopped up. North Twin Tr. and herd paths are packed smooth. Wondered where the snowman from a certain Gridder was while on top and finally found him on the way down. |
