Comments
Comments: Beautiful day on the Hancocks and far less crowded than the Lincoln Woods area. Started cooler at 32 degrees and warmed up into the low 50s by the time we summited North Hancock. Trail relatively clear with minimal leaves. A very tiny amount of snow on the ridge trail. Clear day with great views. Thanks to the group of hikers that we met on South Hancock who were passing out glitter for faces!
