Route: West Ridge Trail, Clark Trail, South Ridge Trail, Ranger-Cabin Trail

Trails were mostly dry and in good shape. Dramatically cooler temperatures than earlier this week...fall is on its way. Looks like there was an undercast in parts of the Whites this afternoon, though it was tough to frame a good photo of it with the Spanish Imposition in the foreground (Groton Wind Farm).
