| Comments: |
Started out on Jewell around 6:45am after spotting the cars under partially cloudy skies. Some mud on Jewell below the tree-line, quickly drying out the further up we got. Rock slides were not slippery and easy to hike. Dry up on the presidential ridge, there are patches of snow, but not on the trails. The clouds on Washington lifted when we reached the top around 11:45. The day only got better from here.. dry trails & sunny all the way down to Pierce. Trail got a muddy and wet again below the treeline to our destination. Reached Mizpah around 6pm. |
