 | Comments: |
A really nice day with blue sky and temps from 10 to 30 and breezy on the summits. Lots of people out today on the peaks and at the hut. Great views to Franconia Ridge as well as to Vermont. Wore micro spikes most of the hike for traction on the icy areas of the trail as well as the steep sections. |
