Happy New Year! Today we hiked up Mt. Piece....about 4300 feet. Beautiful day, very warm, about 40 degrees. No snow, but a little ice. We used our microspikes. No need for crampons, although we brought them, and not need for snow shoes....no snow. Although it was very warm, on top there were some great pictures of a winter wonderland. We ascended via the Crawford Path, and descended via Mitzpah hut back to Crawford path. A total of about 6.2 miles. A great hike. Here are some pictures from the day. Near the hut Mark fed two gray jay birds. They ate right out of his hand. All in all it was a great way to ring inthe new year!
