Comments
Comments: Great Gulf trail, good footing with the overnight rain...Wamsutta, would not do alone (sure it has been though), as the scrambles sometimes required a helping hand from a partner...connected some dots on the way to Washington summit and also on way down...views excellent with high fog cloud obscuring the sun but we could see long distances...lots of tourists on the summit and all sorts of hikers on the Tuckerman Ravine trail....
