This was a great day to hike, the weather on the Franconia Ridge Trail was windy and cold, but this was the only portion of today's walk where I wore my Gortex shell. The rest of the hike I was wearing only two light layers. The ice on the trail was manageable with micro spikes.
The trail was well-peopled and everyone seemed to be having a good time.
