White Mountains
Date of Hike: Saturday, April 7th

Trails: Basin Bushwhack, Liberty Spring, Franconia Ridge, Flume Slide

Trail Conditions: Basin Bushwhack is easy to follow if you know where to turn off from the bike path. Liberty Spring Trail is bare ground until past the water crossing then steadily the snow deepens with rocks sticking out until they're all burried past tentsite. Franconia Ridge is choppy and packed with a monorail starting to form. Flume Slide trail is bare rock, old snow, thin ice, two decent ice flows, care required to navigate, wore microspikes down this part. Rest of Flume Slide Trail has minor snow that quickly dissapears.

Special Equipment: microspikes

Comments: Pretty cool cloud formations in the sky early in the morning, lots of fun descending the Flume Slide! Report / Pictures
