This cairn is after the first granite steep. The views of the Mahoosuc Range are fun.

It doesn't take too many days off from hiking to make the next hike a tough one. That's what happened on Easter. Bailey's been battling giardia and I've been suffering the results of being his caretaker at 3am or 1am. We got a late start on Whitecap but off we went on the Yellow trail up about a mile into the saddle. From the saddle we head up three sets of steeps--two have granite faces and one is more a traditional dirt path going fairly straight up. I was tired. Bailey looked like he was searching for dead things to eat. I swear, I'd have whacked him with my hiking pole had he started gobbling up poop or whatever.
Add to several days off from hiking new hiking boots, and you've got a recipe for bad feet and tired legs. Nevertheless, on we went.
