Comments
Comments: Hiked this one for my GF's 52WAV list, and also to try and get clear views, which I've never had up here. ;)

All trails were dry except for the final third, with some mud and icy monorail, which could be avoided. The gully crossing was tricky, with slippery mud and ice to contend with. Still snow trapped in there as well. It was easier on the return trip. It was dry once out on the summit ledges, no problem there.

Hazy views from the summit with the warm and humid air, but still nice. Next time I think we will come up Weeks Brook Trail to check out the southeast approach.
