Today, after Isis' vet appointment, we went back to Franconia Notch and intended to catch sunset on Liberty. We were quicker than i thought we would be and so, we settled on a late afternoon on Liberty which was equally good. Lots of people coming down as I was coming up and many without snowshoes or the proper footwear at all for the season. The trail was significantly deteriorated on my descent but I think the saying goes.... Last one out in snowshoes packs the trail. Just not before she falls a few times. Well worth it for a trip to my favorite peak. |
