Comments
Comments: After crossing the river, I debated snowshoes. Ultimately, the Bald Mtn. Tr. does not have enough snow for shoes, but has some annoying snowy sections/monorail. The Saddleback Wind trail is well marked and was easy to follow despite snow-cover. For the accent of Saddleback wind, snowshoes were best. The summit was recognized with a soak register, which I updated. This is a great summit.
