Got an early start to beat the crowds. Microspikes up to 0.25 miles from the tenstsite then snowshoes were the way to go as the trail was still soft. Excellent snowshoe track along Franconia Ridge between Liberty and Flume. Saw one person along the ridge also wearing snowshoes and enjoying the quiet trails. On the descent from Franconia Ridge I saw around thirty hikers coming up, only one in snowshoes, 2/3 didn't have snowshoes but they did have sleds, ignorance is bliss!
Cold but comfortable morning with beautiful views and hardly any wind on the exposed summits. |
