| Comments: |
Yesterday we parked at Liberty Springs lot and walked the bike path to Old Bridle Path. We had an uneventful hike to Greenleaf Hut. Stayed over at the hut on their first night taking overnight guests. Today we headed up to the summit of Lafayette and across the ridge to Liberty Springs Trail. There is a little bit of snow between Little Haystack and the LS trail intersection. Nothing that required us to slow down. Before we headed down Liberty Springs I took a quick peek at Liberty's peak. |
