 | Comments: |
Beautiful day with views to the Adirondacks from the summit. No wind! Colors past peak. Snow started around 4000 feet, but was melting fast and spikes never seemed necessary to me. Higher trails are quite wet where the snow has melted. Herd paths to Blue and Jim are obvious, but of note, the sign for Mt. Jim is not actually at the summit. |
