Great day to be out in the mountains and couldn’t think of a better way to spend my 60th birthday with dogs, human and human hiking friends.
Trails were icy but easily managed with light traction.
We didn’t see any hikers ascending Dicey’s Mill Trail to Mount Passaconaway but near the summit and coming down saw lots of hikers who had first summited Mount Whiteface going up the Blueberry Ledge Trail which they reported wasn’t too bad.
Hiked with Barb for the first time and it was a real pleasure meeting her. She had finished redlining the Whites some time ago.
Thanks again to Marlene and Cooper for their company. |
