 | Comments: |
Limited views until we reached the Mad River Glen ski trails, when the sun came out, although thunder still rumbled up on the ridge, We got caught in a big thunderstorm on the ridge between Ellen and General Stark, getting soaked from a deluge with hail, and lots of nearby thunder. The ski trails were by far the best part of the hike. |
