 | Comments: |
Started out just after 7AM with temps from 15 to 35 and overcast sky. The clouds appeared to be at 8,000 feet? because Mt Washington and all other peaks were visible from Mt. Moriah. Saw 4 hikers and 1 dog today. I made first tracks in the snow from Thursday's storm with about an inch of snow at the beginning of the trail, about 4 inches in the col and about 6 inches near the top of Mt. Moriah. There was also some bare rocks and ice covered rocks on the C-M Trail. A great day on the trail. |
