 | Comments: |
I didn't realize that Wildcat resort had summer operations. the lift was open for scenic rides and I think I saw a sign for disc golf. no crowds! definitely a different tourist vibe in Pinkham vs. Franconia. A great day to be out with my friend BSK who I haven't seen in 2 years. We saw and chatted with many NOBO thru hikers which I think BSK enjoyed. He is a triple crowner and is planning another trip out to the PCT. |
