Started early. Up Falling Waters. Trail has nice sticky snow that aid in traction on the ice around the falls. Didn’t slip at all. Franconia Ridge was in good shape. A couple of drifty parts but nothing past mid leg. Mostly powder and ice. Went down Greenleaf and got turned around and ended up off trail at the infamous section where folks get turned around. Lost the trail and was forced to backtrack up to Lafayette. Went back the way I came up. Fun day. |
