 | Comments: |
With the weather forecast of a great day before a snowstorm, I took a day off from work to hike to Owl's Head. The trails were hard packed snow and really easy to hike. I used microspikes from Black Pond to the summit of Owl's Head and back to Black Pond. Temps were from 20 to 40 with a clear blue sky and no wind, a very nice quiet day in the woods. |
