Late fall backpacking on Handies Peak ~ Oct 1986(10) images
The outdoor segment of the family was looking for a casual 3 day way to get up Handies. Formula: short hike to a good camping spot and a casual distance to the peak. Nice summit day in about 6-8 inches of new snow. Third morning the five of us we walked out. Perfect.
