I never grow weary of this hike. Great views and plenty of up. I love the ridge walk most of all.
A far better day weather-wise than NOAA's Rec forecast or the Mt Washington Observatory's might have otherwise predicted. High, wispy clouds at first, then some fog. Definitely 30-35mph winds with some gusts when exposed. It might have showered on the ridge/summits later that afternoon - I was in the parking lot by 2:45-3pm, and felt a few sprinkles.
Stopped at Walker Brook on the way out to chill out my toes. My apologies to the fish wiped out downstream of my funky feet. ;-) |
