What a beautiful day for a hike! Trail conditions were near perfect for this time of year, with avoidable mud, and snow only appearing for about a mile or two before the summit. The monorail is rapidly deteriorating, so my friend and I postholed quite a bit. The AMC Construction Crew is currently working on the Galehead Hut roof, so make sure to say hi. |
