 | Comments: |
The trails were very wet, slick, and muddy, which made footing interesting in a few spots. The col between North and South Kinsman is a mess- it's muddy, slightly flooded, and mushy. The summits themselves were in the clouds, so no views except for on Bald Peak, which was low enough that it was below the cloud deck.
Still a good day- met some cool people, some just starting their 4K list and others almost done- and #34 and 35 are down! 13 to go! |
