Glenn Boulder up top is pretty grown in but there was a couple that was doing some trimming/trail work so may be better now
Started up Tuckerman’s and took Lions head up. Some of the rock faces below treeline on Lions Head were wet. Steep climb at times. I think Tuckerman’s all the way up is easier. Washington was clear and windy early morning which seems rare this summer. Davis Path until you hit the trees heading to North Isolation was dry, then it becomes running water on the trail for a short period. Lots of mud from just before North Isolation all the way to Isolation. Isolation had better views than expected. Took Glen Boulder trail down. Super steep descent at times which after a long hike would not recommend. Wet trail down below tree line. The Direttissima is pretty fast moving even with tired legs. Lots of flat sections. Pretty cool mile of trail of you ask me with the rock faces you are beside and some minor water crossings. Great day to be in the Whites! |
