| Comments: |
Nice day for these peaks. Temps from 30 to 40 with high overcast clouds in the morning with the sun out about 11 AM. Very windy on the peaks. Saw about 20 hikers with most wearing snowshoes. The trails were in better shape later in the day from all the snowshoe work. Views were really great especially of the northern Presidentials with their white snow against the darker clouds overhead. Great to be out. |
