 | Comments: |
I went up Old Bridal Path, Greenlief Trail and Franconia Ridge Trail to Mt. Lincoln then retraced my way back to my vehicle. I like to get the return view of the out and back on the same trail. I do like loop hikes also as a change of pace. I saw 9 other hikers and one dog on my return trip from Mt. Lincoln, where I saw Pepper and Me. I carried snowshoes but wore stabilicers all day. Poles very helpful in the steep areas and also the icy sections above treeline. My 21st and 22nd winter 4K. |
