Absolutely stunning today! Most of the Pemi was socked in when we summited around 11 am but the sun was peeking through. Heavy snow hung on the trees as we climbed closer to the summit; as the air warmed up on the descent much of that was melting and creating slushy/slippery conditions. Very foggy on the descent! |
