 | Comments: |
Up Flume slide to Franconia Ridge down Liberty Springs to Flume Visitor Center
Flume slide was very challenging. Too steep for my snowshoes, lots of slipping as snow was not packed or consolidated and rocks under 2-3 feet of snow were glazed with ice. Once on ridge some deep snow drifts till Flume peak, then trail was well packed |
