| Comments: |
A really nice day with temps from 20 to 45 with sunny sky all day. I was first at the parking area at 6:30AM with 2 others cars there at 3PM. I followed Georg's snowshoe tracks with some short sections being covered by wind driven snow. I did not see any hikers at all which made for a very quiet hike in the Sandwich Range Wilderness. |
