Great hike with Tim and Sabrina. Someone had lightly broken out the lower 1.5 miles of the trail. We broke trail from there to the summit of Starr King, across to Waumbek, and then over to South Weeks. We were hoping to get to North Weeks, but trailbreaking had slowed us down. We returned over the same route. By the time we returned to Waumbek quite a few more hikers had been up. So the trail up to Waumbek is very well broken and packed down and from there to South Weeks is well broken. |
