Comments
Comments: I started this hike with some trepidation having read various descriptions of the first two miles of the Wildcat Ridge Trail. I found it challenging, but not scary and not that difficult. I would not want to try it in icy or very wet conditions though. Wait for a dry day. The views are terrific. It was fascination watching the cloud cover on the Presidential's evolve and eventually vanish during the day.
