| Comments: |
Overcast day, but great hiking. I'd also recommend highly gaiters as the mud was fierce on Willey Range Trail between Field and Willey. I also highly recommend the Avalon summit spur (0.1 miles or so off Avalon trail. FABULOUS views of the 3 peaks I'd just climbed and Crawford Notch. |
