On Tuesday October 12, three of us summited Mt. Washington at 6288 feet. Pam and Dick ascended from Pinkham Notch via the Tuckerman Ravine, Boot Spur Link, Boot Spur, Davis Path, Lawn Cutoff and back onto Tuckerman Ravine trails. Doug ascended from Pinkham Notch via Tuckerman Ravine, Huntington Ravine and Nelson Crag trails. The weather was great, and was a record high temp for that day. The skies were clear with no wind and low humidity. The views of the fall foliage in all directions were spectacular. We all descended via the Tuckerman Ravine trail.
It was somewhat surprising and unsettling to meet other hikers still heading up to the summit at 3 in the afternoon and they were still below the Tuckerman Ravine headwall. We all questioned them about their plans but they kept going.
Pictures will be uploaded soon.
