Comments
Comments: (attempt) Saddleback Mtn and Horn from AT Piazza Rock Trailhead

Appalachian Trail from Rte 4.
1-2 feet of snow over most of trail, with unstable snowpack. Snowshoes would help, but would still be very difficult as the snow is very uneven, and crossings would be tough. I imagine conditions above 2000' would be even worse.
