 | Comments: |
Rocks were pretty slick in spots below treeline, expect that to continue until the wet weather and humidity finally leaves the region, whenever that may be. Boott Spur Link is especially greasy so watch your step if descending this way. Above treeline usually dries out quickly when the weather clears so footing and grip improves dramatically.
The waterfalls along the headwall of Tuckerman Ravine are flowing pretty awesomely these days and the last of the snow just off trail has maybe another few days before it is gone. There is one section at the top of the headwall that is eroding and falling away only leaving a few feet width of trail above a big drop, will be interesting to see this let go sometime over the next year or two.
Other than that all trails are free of blowdowns and cairns are all in great shape above treeline. Trails are definitely quieter these days with the unsettling weather but still plenty of happy hikers out and about. Lakes of the Clouds had some good baked goods so bring your dollar bills! |
