This year I have plans to really get some hiking in. I want to concentrate on the 4,000' peaks because I want that patch. Most of the 4k's I need are far away or best done during a backpack so today I thought I would attempt a 4k I had done before for training.
I attempted Jackson and got about 1.1 miles up to the trail and hit a stream crossing that was not bridged or passable. The snow was so deep in the area due to some winds recently and some recent snows that I saw no feasable way across. I decided where I was hiking solo, that I would not chance the crossing so I turned around. I did hit the trail to the elephant head here which has decent views out over route 302 in Crawford Notch.
While today was not a waste of a day it was disappointing to only hike a little over 2 miles. Off to a bad start to the year.
