| Comments: |
Beautiful day with less wind than forecast(don't believe I felt over 15 mph); stronger in A.M. on climb up. 6 hikers up to Liberty and 2 over to Flume. Thanks Gretchen for breaking between peaks. Liberty Spring Tr. fairly smooth, packed out while Franconia Ridge had seen just us two on snowshoes and not packed down as much. I used snowshoes from part way up herd path until back at car. Most others using shoes as well. No recent use of KRT towards Little Haystack. Looked to have been one out and backer on Flume Slide Tr. today (tracked on both ends). Nice meeting some fellow posters. Nice day had by all. |
