| Comments: |
Route: Great Gulf>Great Gulf Link>Daniel Webster Scout>Osgood up over summit> Star Lake>Parapet>Osgood down>Great Gulf. A rugged loop on a beautiful day. We only saw 5 people all day, all between the hut and Madison summit. All trails dry and in good condition. Cairns on Daniel Webster are on the small side. Huge cairns on Osgood. Parapet lived up to its reputation of not being much fun. |
