Marcy, Big Slide, Yard 2/11, 2/12/2006

This was a mid winter trip into Peggy O Brian camp. We went with a group of about ten people who broke into small groups for hiking on Sat and Sun.
Ken, Bruce, and Sue went up Mt. Marcy one day. Ken went up Big Slide and Yard another.
Nice winter weather with a fair amount of snow at elevation. I remember Yard was very marginal staying on the trail. There are some very tight spruce trees near the top that are so close together there were a few places where I had to back track because it was to hard to move through the trees going forward.
Marcy was nice with good views. Nice leaving from Peggy O Brian camp to climb the surrounding mountains.
