Notes
Great Spring warmup loop. Weather and views were great. No major snow or ice issues, the only snow now is in the deep saddles on Meader Ridge but traction is definitely not needed on this loop. Honestly the pesky beech leaves were the challenge of the day, both with the ascent of the Meader knee and the descent down Baldface Circle.
Parking
Second at 6AM, half full with plenty of room for more by 11.
Water Crossings
All small crossings easy. Charles Brook on decent took a minute but flows aren't terribly high.
Wildlife
None, cool and breezy.
