Evergreen boughs obscuring Randolph Path uphill from junction with Perch Path to the tree line. Difficult to see ground in some places.
RMC temporary sign at Gateway (junction of Air Line and King Ravine trails)is unreadable. Perhaps this is to discourage descent via King Ravine Trail. |

Mica Schist rocks on the cones of Mt Jefferson and Mt Adams can be abrasive to dog paws. |

 | Comments: |
Clouds obscured the views.
Cold Brook Fall was beautiful.
A couple of youth groups and AT hikers on Gulfside Trail. Not many hikers on feeder trails to the Gulfside Trail. I was alone most of the time on the summits. |
