 | Comments: |
Similar conditions to other reports from the Northern Whites this week...slush and spring snow melt down below, 5-6inches of powder at higher elevation. While snowshoes aren't a MUST, they do make travel easier on Martha's mile. The scramble up Owl's Head was precarious with the wet snow and ice, but doable.
Tremendous sweeping cloudy skies made for some incredible views from both the outlooks on Martha. Sunbeams and snow clouds in the mix. Absolutely some of the finest views in NH that I've experienced. Excellent day in the mountains. |
