 | Comments: |
Nice day for these two peaks! Blustery wind and snow squalls to Waumbek yielded to dramatic views on the return trip to Starr King. Micros start to finish today along an icy trail gradually turning to a solid but narrow balance beam of monorail between the two peaks. It was nice briefly chatting with the only hiker I crossed paths with today. There is approx 2+ of remaining snowpack from Starr King on. |
