 | Comments: |
Views clear through to Mt. Washington, Vermont and probably Canada. Stunning. Lots of traffic coming to and from the tent site and what a day to be there. A day to let the mountains restore you, challenge you, and lift you higher into that greater beyond, no matter how old or young or broken.
FWIW the cutback path to the Basin is pretty blocked off now with a large pile of branches. We didn't even attempt it anyway, though always wonder if it saves time. |
