Backwoods Ethics by Guy and Laura Waterman
Stashed the bicycle at the overflow at Pinkham Notch. Started at Rattle River at 5:30am. Visibility was poor from the smoke. The trail is a lot busier than I remember. Weather was calm and cool before noon. Rock faces became hot on the descent. Back at the car at 5:30pm. |
