Comments
Comments: Slept in until 12 PM, then headed to Waterville Valley for a nice afternoon hike after tying up some loose ends at home. Excellent hike as always- the magnificent views, ledgy goodness, challenging terrain, and great conversation always make it worthwhile.

4.4 mi rt, 1,900 ft. of gain, and it took a little less than 2 hours not including my summit breaks.
