 | Comments: |
Surprisingly busy day with at least 40 folks on the peak at noon due to the class of 67' Dartmouth 50th reunion. South peak was the place to be with the peak to ourselves. Water running down the carriage road in places with the rain earlier in the week, but quite manageable. Construction at the ravine lodge and taking the detour that involved coming down from the start of the Al Merrill loop adds a mile each way from the car. |
