 | Comments: |
This is another "big bang for your buck type of hike". I do this hike every year for the views and to help my old legs get somewhat back into shape. If you do not want to do the whole loop, you can stop at the South Ledge at 1.3 miles, enjoy the view, and go back to the parking lot. Did not stay at the summits long due to weather coming in. Good views of Sandwich Dome, Jennings Peak, the Tripyramids, the Sleepers, Mt Whiteface, etc. |
