Pemi loop 5/7-5/9
last week I backpacked a three day extended Pemi loop. I dealt with a wide range of weather and trail conditions. There was a mix of dry trail, snow and puddles. Microspikes were needed for several sections. On day one I hiked flume, liberty, Lincoln, Lafayette and Garfield. There was rain at first but things improved a lot as I reached the ridge. I stayed at the Garfield ridge campsite. On day two I hiked galehead, south twin, north twin, and Zealand. There were snow squalls on and off all day and some high wind gusts around guyot. I stayed at the guyot campsite. From my tent platform I had a view of the sunrise and had a pine marten encounter. On day three I hiked west bond, bond and Bondcliff.
