| Comments: |
The trail was in great condition and very solid when we started out in the morning. We opted for micro spikes and carried our snowshoes to the summit of Starr King. After lunch, the snowshoes went on for the hike over to Waumbek and the rest of the hike. Great views of the presidentials, lots and lots of snow, great hiking partners, and a few gray jays made this a magic hike. |
