"Gray and drizzly start to the day but rain held off. Hit the trail at 7a;45 a.m. and almost no-one on the Boulder Trail. Cool breeze felt good in the high humidity. COuldn't see far up into the White mountains from the summit, but vies of the lake were very pretty." - rjnick, May 27, 2018

"Parking lot was already almost full when my pup and I arrived at 8:45 am. We headed up the Brook Trail to try and avoid some of the crowds headed up and were mildly successful. Trails were eroded but other than that looking good. For all the cars at the bottom the summit wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be. Still, we only stopped there for 10-15 min before heading over to Straightback for some solitude. We only saw 1 other hiker out there the rest of the day." - HikeLikeMike, Aug 13, 2017

"After Straightback, and some more confusion, we went over and did Major. Still socked in the clouds. Minimal snow on this hike. We reached the parking lot 30 minutes after the other group. It was a great hike and meeting other AMC people. " - newenglandwarrior, Apr 22, 2017
