The crown jewel of New England

This hike was absolutely stunning! This being my 2nd time on this mountain I wanted to try a more challenging route but was advised against it due to an abundance of rain in prior days.  The hike was perfect until about 5000ft when the wind started whipping and the temperature dropped.  There were small patches of ice on the boulder field all the way to the summit but nothing unmanageable.  The way down was slightly more difficult and harsh on the knees but just as gorgeous.  10 outta 10!
