| Comments: |
Trails mostly dry. Able to hop along dry rocks without the water/mud traps waiting below if you slipped. Hiker Ed's group and another group took Engine Hill BW but stated it was not an obvious path like some of the other common BW's in the Whites. Around 50 hikers met including at least 4 48 finishers and some familiar faces. Hikers coming in from Glen Boulder had some spitting snow in A.M.. |
