 | Comments: |
Beautiful and blustery day in the presidentials. Trails are in good shape; the only snow/monorail section I came across was on the Air Line Cutoff heading over to the Madison hut; not great footing, a little slidey, but you'll be fine without traction if you're slow and steady. Weather was temperamental. Changed layers several times due to the cold winds blowing across the ridgeline. |
