Barren (AT 100 mile wilderness) 11.10.12

[tomcat32]

I usually hit this a few times a year since it is only 45 minutes or so from my house. Little snow at trailhead but increased as elevation increased. From Barren Ledges the AT goes to the north side of the ridge and snow was 2-4 inches to the summit. I was fine with no traction. My first hike with actual boots compared to low cuts in a long time and I'm glad I had them. At summit with abandoned fire tower, windchill was probably below 0 with temps in low 20s and a very painful wind.

Nice photos. I love the D-F area too actually, was just up in Sangerville last week and it's very lovely. Lots to explore up there, I bet.
