 | Comments: |
I needed McCrillis Tr for my trace and the dog needed Whiteface for his NH48, so off we went. This was a fun trip and we saw no one today.
We didn't encounter any ice until ~3700 ft and it was easily avoidable on the way up (for now). The ice between the trail intersection and the Whiteface summit was a bit harder to avoid but the spikes stayed in the bag for this trip. Leaves on the ground made for a slow descent. |
