 | Comments: |
Absolutely perfect day in the Pemi Wilderness. Barely any clouds in the sky, minimal wind (couldn't have been blowing more than 5 miles an hour at both overlooks), and temperatures close to 30. Trail was well packed, so snowshoes were not required. Two in our group wore micros the entire hike and the other two put on snowshoes for going up South Hancock and traversing between the peaks. Micros from the top down for everyone.
No postholing issues unless you stepped clear off the trail. Couldn't have asked for a better day.
