 | Comments: |
On a day when I'm sure the Whites were overrun, I took my buddy Nate's advice and went north. What a fantastic hike. I opted to go CCW and get the elevation over early. Just ridiculous views on all peaks. Enough folks that you knew you weren't alone, but not so many that you felt you were crowded. Gem of a day. Spooked a cow moose at the Moose Falls tentsite. |
