Beautiful, cold day hiking on the Starr King trail. It was very well packed, wore microspikes the entire way. Took us less than 2 hours to reach the summit of Waumbek. The view just after the Waumbek summit was beautiful! Gorgeous outlook point with skies opening up just as we got there. Great day to be out in the whites! Met a very nice msn from Concord NH who took photos of us at the summit, the is again! |
