Trip Report: - Solo hike, Started at 5am finished at 6pm (13 hours). Dad dropped me off at Webster-Jackson Trail and picked me up at Appalachia, thanks old man!
- Incredible day, 45-65 degrees, 20-45 mph wind, clear skies, fantastic views
- Summited Mount Washington just after 11am, had some lunch, relaxed, back on trail at noon
- Ran into a group doing one day traverse in opposite direction around 1:30 between Mount Clay and Mount Jefferson. They started at 5am from Appalachia parking area.
- Met AT through-hiker coming up Watson Path who took a wrong turn at Mount Madison summit. Got out my map and showed him where to go (Osgood Trail). He was going to the Osgood tent site for the night.
- Much more enjoyable than last years traverse because of the views, plus only the last 3 miles is below treeline compared to the majority of the last 6.5 miles going south.
