 | Comments: |
No mud or puddles on any of the trails. The leaves on the trail were not slippery.
The footing is good on all these trails. Even the rocks above the tree line were not difficult.
Great visibility today.
Lots of hikers on the trails. Two AT flip hikers from MD heading southbound to MA. Many Presidential traverse hikers including a large group from SC. Met one hiker from Austria and three others from Canada. Met a hiker from Groton MA who was 90% complete on his third grid. Talked with Trevor from Lewiston (red liner) who was wearing a terror costume for his climb up the Caps Ridge Trail.
Plenty of fall leaf color although it appears a bit muted than normal due to the drought. |
