| Comments: |
Made a nice loop up Fire Warden's Trail, up the AT to Avery, down and up to West, and over to South Horn, descending by Horns Pond Trail. Windy with clouds blowing over the ridge on Avery, had good views for a few minutes. No views on West due to the clouds.
Nice and sunny on South Horn. Started at 5am, ended at 1:15pm, spending significant time at each summit. Nice dry day to be out! |
