Comments
Comments: Loved hiking the Jewell trail for the first time. It was a great option to get to Mount Washington. Wind was brutal as predicted at the summit of Washington and didn't relent all day. Snowfield were packed and spikes did the job. High clouds gave us amazing views all day. We saw two people who forgot their sunglasses. I don't know how they lasted up there without them. We saw many hikers and skiers enjoying the day.
