Fabulous day on the mountains today. Views for endless miles, winds were pleasant and offered a slight cooling above treeline. Lots of people mostly distant on the Chocorua summit, but we had the summit of Middle Sister to ourselves; no one else made the short trek over to the summit.
Trails were mostly dry down low, but at higher elevations trails were wet with running water. Mud was significant, and in some spots could not be avoided, especially on the ridge trails. Some of the water covered rocks were a bit slippery, as well. We took the falls loop on the way down and were pleasantly surprised by the impressive falls. |
