 | Comments: |
Fun trail despite rain/clouds/wind in the AM. Unfortunately visibility was very limited at the summit, but sun came out when we were mid-way down, just enough to tease us with the views of Mt.Washington and Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail. No need for traction, but we needed to watch our step near the muddy sections. Kids were excited to refill camelbacks at the thawing cascade a few hundred feet under the intersection with the Crawford Path. |
