 | Comments: |
A very pleasant day to venture up Asquam Ridge for the first time. It's a much gentler approach to an already gentle summit, which makes really fast going on slightly more cushioned trails. Well worth the extra mile or two if you've done Moosilauke before. The bushwhack to Blue is also well defined with lots of signs of moose activity.
Everything is in great shape. Saw two northbound through hikers. Checked off another Trailwrights peak. The answer is always 'yes' if the question includes hiking Moosilauke. |
