The morning started off very misty,  humid and hot.  Certainly didn’t expect weather like this in New Hampshire!

On the climb up Smart Mountain, the trail and rocks were slick with moisture. It was like the mountain itself was sweating as much as I was. Luckily there were old rebar handles/steps built into of the rock walls. It would have been nearly impassable that day without.

There was a pretty nice cliff that offered a nice view. You could see the fog/weather rolling in though. By the time we made the summit of Smart Mountain,  it was fogged in.

Called it a shorter day at just 10 miles in order to set up the next couple days moving into rougher terrain.  I stayed at the Hexacube shelter with Rabbit and 4 section hikers from Tennessee.
