Wright Peak Airplane Slides (Left Wing and Right Wing)

Wright Peak's eastern ridge is strewn with the wreckage from a B-47 that crashed in 1962. Parts of the engine still adorn the summit while a 35 foot section of the wing and various other parts lie between Wright and Algonquin. Exploring the wreckage and slides sets the stage for a full-day adventure in the High Peaks...
