Great day to be out there. Randolph Path was a good way to start the morning. Valley Way is a steep slog with not much in the view department until the hut just appears out of nowhere. Osgood going up and down Mt. Madison is outstanding. Played leapfrog with a lot of groups were out on the trails. Only downside was being able to hear the cars over on Otto. Hat tip to those of you who also bagged Adams. |
