 | Comments: |
Finished my hike just before the weather came over. Franconia was mostly crusty/packed snow but might get a little more powder today. Bridle/Falling Waters are bare and wet with small patches of crusty ice near the bottom. Higher up, microspikes are recommended. Snow is packed but there's plenty of refreeze. |
