We started at 1:00 pm; parking lot with ~10 cars. A 25 degree sunny day; wore microspikes all the way. Trail was mostly snow packed, some ice in spots, in overall good condition. We crossed at least 20 other happy hikers coming down. Starr King summit comfy, Waumbek had more wind. Excellent views from the outlook. Descent was easy. A spectacular day. |
