11-04-2011 Climb

My 21st hike of the year up Mt. Monadnock. We had a big early season snow storm about a week ago, but much of the snow has melted. There was some snow still left with more as you got higher and some still deep drifts. The weather was great with nice sunny skies after a little cloudy start. It was windy, but not too bad. It was nice to be hiking in some snow again and I only saw a couple other hikers today and that was only at the summit, not on the trails.
