Great day for a hike. Parked at the trailhead for Harrington. Only 3 cars there at 10am. Other lots started to become overflowing with cars at that point. Great sunny and warm spring day. Soft scent of decaying leaves in the air brings reminders of the autumn as the trees begin to bud. Trails were crowded, lots of dogs, some leashed some unleashed. Plenty of people brining masks, however there were some that didn't. Hike up Harrington was easy, went down old Indian trail to the ski parking lot and back up. Then took Harrington down to jack frost to the lower link trail then back to the Harrington to the car. 7.7miles with 1,987 elevation gain. A great day for a easy hike. |
