After 2 months off from the Whites I figured I would get reacquainted with as many PUDs as possible. The trails were in great shape although some of the rocks were a bit slick in the am due to humidity. Saw <20 hikers on the trail, half being AT hikers. There were a handful of people near the gondola but not crowded at all. I'm kind of surprised since it was Labor Day. After reaching A Peak we doubled back. I thought briefly about descending the ski trails but then I would miss out on couple small PUDs.;) The leaves are starting to change
