Once down below treeline, we made our way down through the annoying, boulder-strewn mid section, and I was glad when we got down to level ground at about 2500-ish feet.   We need a big big dump of snow, please!  A short stroll on the main trail back to the Loj parking lot and we celebrated the end of Jenn's dad's first Adirondack hike.   Good job!
