 | Comments: |
Excellent hike! Upper section of Asquam Ridge Trail has a LOT of snow (below Beaver Brook Trail Jct) - and parts of very unstable - careful placement of feet is challenging! Above that, there were only minor sections of snow/monorail until treeline. Great views from summit as usual! On the descent, I took the east side of the Merrill Loop which was quite pleasant but a quite flat. Great day! |
