| Comments: |
Another epic hike. Followed 2 sets of snowshoe tracks to Franconia ridge then 1 set to flume and back. continued to Haystack with 1 set of tracks to follow. Lots of snow with drifts. Going over the ridge to Lafayette was not too bad, just had to pay attention in the fog. A delight coming down OBP almost skiing in snowshoes. Trails are now getting packed out.
Winter Wonderland! |
