Comments
Comments: Beautiful day for the views from Mt. Carrigain. Blue sky and just a light breeze at the tower. A few wispy clouds in the western sky. A new dusting of snow from the weekend. The sun melted the snow on the softwoods and they were dripping all over. Rime and snow on the tower also melting and falling making noise on the metal framework. That was the only sound at the summit. Temps from 30 to 45. Saw 2 other hikers on Signal Ridge.
