Comments
Comments: Trails were mostly dry. Frozen precip from a few days ago is now long gone. A little chilly on the summit, but otherwise very nice temperatures. Watched a plane showboating around the summits, as well as flying into the Great Gulf and barely clearing the headwall (seemed like literally by a dozen or two feet).

Foliage appears to be near peak around the town of Jefferson and the Crescent Range, as well as in pockets around Twin Mountain and Bretton Woods.
