 | Comments: |
I hadn't been on these trails since 2013 so this was a good refresher. Steep, steep, steep up to each summit but otherwise gentle/moderate. Great views over the valley from Cathedral Ledge and I had forgotten about the in-your-face view of the Moats from White Horse Ledge.
I enjoy winter but I also enjoy the return of glorious ledge walking! |
