 | Comments: |
Planned on going to Parker, but my lungs didn't want to cooperate. Hiked up Cave Mountain Path, past the cave and to the ledges, then bushwhacked north through open woods to the highpoint. Ascended Mt. Langdon Trail to the junction with Mt. Parker Trail, which was untracked. Followed boot prints and ski tracks in ~2" of squeaky snow, over a firm base all the way, was in Hillsounds car to car. Snowshoes got a free ride today. |
