Beautiful day today! Blue bird skies and no wind to speak of. Peak was amazing with views all around. Bare booted most of the way up. Put micros on at tent site and kept them on most of the way down. Brought snow shoes but really didn't need them today. Amazing day in the Whites! Looking forward to my next hike! |
