The View

It's a long, cold tough hike, but you really can't beat the view, especially after earning it the hard way. This is the third time that I have made the summit of Adams in the winter, and the view this time was beyond compare. About 20 minutes later, after we were off the peak, the clouds rolled in and the windpicked up to probably over 50mph. Fortunately we were on the way back to the hut to have a bite of lunch before hiking out down Lowes Path.

Ugly photo, but you have to do it.Wind ~ 35-40 mph, temp in the low teens - not bad!

This is the last stretch from the Junction to the summit of Adams.
