Such a great hike! We saw less than 20 people the entire day which was an entirely different experience than the first time I hiked this ~8 years ago on Columbus Day weekend! The slabs and slight scrambling added to the excitement and the views from both peaks and the ascent/descent never disappoint. Great views of a snow covered Moosilauke from Dickey were the highlight. Some of the slabs were wet and in some spots a bit icy but nothing too concerning. Fantastic Spring Day! |
