| Comments: |
One of my favorite loops in the Whites to do. All trails are in good shape, some mud and standing water in a few spots, along with a small section of running water heading up the North Twin Trail but not too bad considering all the rain from the previous weeks.
Hazy - Hot - Humid day down low, but good wind speeds above 4,000 feet which was refreshing. Other than a boatload of hikers between Zeacliff down to the hut there were only a small handful for the rest of the hike. Nice and quiet along the trails early in the morning :) |
