| Comments: |
Trail was mostly packed down. Some drifts towards the summit on Franconia Ridge Trail made it difficult with microspikes, but many other hikers had packed down the trail before we got there. Few people on the trail today, saw most at summit around 1:00, along with incredible views to the horizon. The butt sliding on the way down was some of the best I've experienced. |
