 | Comments: |
The morning started off chilly -8F with no wind (thankfully). The crystal clear skies and spectacular views from Mt. Starr King did not disappoint! Pristine views of the Presidentials. Quite a few people on the trail. Most were in snowshoes but there were a few in spikes. I chose snowshoes end to end. The trail is in really good shape. A nice hike if you can't get out that much in the winter and are a tad out of hiking shape like me! |
