| Comments: |
Had an epic day with Critter. A little cold once we got above the tree line on our way to Lafayette. Bare booted much of the ridgeline
between Lincoln and Little Haystack. Light traction was a must, but never used the snowshoes at all. Incredible views. There were only
a couple of people hiking our, everyone else seemed to have chosen to hike in the other direction. A spectacular day. |
