Looking down the Webster-Jackson Trail
Route: Webster-Jackson Trail
After a foggy morning, I had a feeling things might be starting to clear in the mountains. Thus, I took my time heading north, trying not to let the occasional rain deter mine. Reaching the trailhead, I could see some spots of blue sky - a good sign!
I had to take my time ascending and descending the Webster-Jackson Trail, as the poor footing even worse than normal due to wet roots and rocks. The water crossings were fortunately not an issue.
The views from the summit were neat, as fog was racing over the ridge at a fast pace. While the Willey Range and balance of the Presidentials were playing hide and seek, the views to the east were nonetheless constant and strong.
