 | Comments: |
As Will Condin reported yesterday, it is nice to hike without requiring snow gear. Good views from the ledges and the summit. Clouds were high enough to allow views to other mountains. Saw hobblebush, painted trillium, shadbush, and trout lilies.
Ledges may be slippery if wet/icy. Thankfully, the surfaces were dry today.
Saw many hikers including couples from Bridgton & Skowhegan Maine and Concord NH. |
