| Comments: |
Trails wet as low clouds hung in Crawford Notch. Mud in spots although most had stepping stones. Willey Range Trail has some sections with a lot of roots and other stretches with loose stones. Gray Jays on Mt Field and Mt Willey. Bull moose sighted by some hikers at the Mt Tom outlook and later crossing the Willey Range Trail not far from A-Z Trail. The moose eluded me. |
