I started out from the trailhead around 3:45pm. It was strange to see the ground; both times I’ve hiked Waumbek have been in winter conditions. There were more rocks than I had expected!
It was a bit cold and some snow was forecast for the overnight. I made good time to the top of Starr King and then hoofed it over to the summit, and then turned around to do it all again in the other direction. I made it most of the way back down before I had to turn on my headlamp. I arrived back at the car by 6:35pm, and headed to the hostel to make dinner and go to bed early to get up early for my Presidential Traverse!
Transcending Mountains 
Love the photos from this hike. It looks a little scary in those woods, but in an enticing way.
