| Comments: |
Other than tiny of patch snow on Howker Ridge Trail, entire route was snow free. Howker Ridge Trail in good shape - a few minor mud patches, as well as a large puddle, but shoes stayed dry. Really nice footing considering Northern Presidentials. Osgood and Star Lake Trails dry. Diapensia and Labrador Tea in bloom on Osgood, Star Lake, and upper Air Line. A few yellow Aven buds as well. Hut open but under heavy renovations. Air Line below tree line was rather wet and muddy in places. Randolph Path was generally dry. |
