| Comments: |
A great loop around the ravines with Jake. Nelson Crag was a nice quiet approach (excepting the traffic when it's in proximity to the road), with Alpine Garden, and even Davis Path being fairly busy. Quiet down Boott Spur and the Link, then only a few people on Tuckerman. Saw a cow moose and calf near the Huntington Fire Road on the way out, she put her head down and came up the trail at us. We ran up until we found a spot to duck into the woods, then let her and her calf pass. Be aware there if you head up this weekend. |
