Mt. Jefferson
Thompson and Meserve's Purchase, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Caps Ridge Trail
Route: Caps Ridge Trail
Trail was generally dry below treeline with some minor mud. Above treeline was dry, as were all of the scramble ledges.
Nice foliage in the valleys...probably at or close to peak. Put on my winter hat and mitts up top for the first time this fall whilst waiting for a nice sunset cloud display.
