Looking up the Edmands Path
Route: Edmands Path, Eisenhower Loop, (Mt. Eisenhower), Eisenhower Loop, Edmands Path
Despite the 70 degree weather in the valley, it looked like a cool, brisk day above treeline. As has been the case for me, the Edmands Path seemed to drag on - I'm not a particular fan of the dark and wet middle portion of it.
The views from the summit were rather good - things were enhanced by purple and white alpine flowers. As forecasted, there were some cool winds blowing - had I lingered for awhile, it would have been time for a jacket.

Directions to trailhead: Take Route 302 West from Bartlett into Carroll. Just after Saco Lake, take a right onto Mt. Clinton Road. Take this road for a few minutes. The Edmand Path trailhead and small WMNF fee parking area will be on the right.
