Two groups headed up Mt Washington way on Wednesday, since the pertinent forecast indicated warm rather than hot weather for the day. Yeah, right. Well, it did start off nicely warm, but we were all feeling the heat build by the time noon approached. Still, a welcome breeze played with us and we returned in fine shape (though perhaps a teensy tired). Both groups enjoyed the beauty of the day-in-the-alpine-hills and look forward to more such hikes as summer progresses.
Group 1, led by Gil, roamed the furthest - the route included a climb up the rougher west side of Lake Helen-McKenzie to Kwai Lake and then looped back to the trailhead via Croteau Lake.
Dawn led Group 2 along the usual routing to Croteau Lake and back.
Thank you, Bill Jorgensen, for your link to photos taken of your group's Kwai Lake hike: a few of these photos are featured below:
