 | Comments: |
Trail in good shape overall, had the summit to ourselves for more than 45 minutes. Views hazy, but we could see most ranges around us pretty well. Just saw one other coming down before us, and one coming up as we left. Quiet day, other than the hordes of people who luckily did not venture beyond the baths attraction. Glad I was not swimming downstream of all of that. Ick.
We had a juvenile male deer hang out near us for a good 10 minutes along the Attitash Tr. He ignored us and munched away at beech leaves, occasionally giving us the side eye. We watched him eat his fill and move on, and continued out. He was in no rush. |
