| Comments: |
Relatively easy hike up the Starr King Trail. We ended up barebooting nearly all of it (forgot our microspikes at home) -- it was do-able, but would probably have been nicer with some traction since the lower section of the trail was icy at times. Had a bit of a view from Starr King but Waumbek was nothing to write home about. Took us about 4h30 to Waumbek and back. |
