 | Comments: |
There were wet areas in spots most notably near the beginning of Glen Boulder Trail and on the Alpine Garden Trail. All wet areas were easily crossed on rocks. There were only two spots with small patches on the trails; one on Davis Path downhill from Slide Peak and on the Camel Trail.
Lots of Painted Trillium low on Glen Boulder and on The Direttissima. Diapensia and Lapland Rosebay around Slide Peak and lots of Lapland Rosebay on Alpine Garden.
Snow of Tuckerman Ravine headwall and snow fields on east side of Mt Washington away from trails.
Many French Canadians on the trails enjoyong their long weekend. |
