Peaceful & calm day in Crawford Notch, no wind! I enjoyed the new Webster Cliff reroute; really impressive trail work! Stick szn is here, almost all leaves are off the trees and forming a nice litter on the ground now. Views from the cliffs were plentiful, WJT was flooded & frozen a good bit, but dry rocks were available to avoid. I had never been on the WRT south of Willey before, sheesh those ladders up towards the top at the steep section could use some TLC. All in all this loop is a beast but so rewarding if you have the time and are a glutton for punishment :) |
