 | Comments: |
Ended up a beautiful and fairly low wind day with the exception of some pretty good gusts at N Kinsman viewpoint where clouds were moving quite swiftly. I encountered lots of mud and running water on trail and no ice/snow. Excellent moody skies with views. I met only two hikers enjoying this unexpectedly great day. Unfortunately there was a fair amount of used tp both at the false summit viewpoint of S and the viewpoint on S Kinsman. A twenty dollar trowel takes care of this |
