| Comments: |
Extremely hard hike up Kinsman Pond Trail in unpacked snow; guessing about 3' of unpacked powder at times.
Kinsman Pond Shelter was full when we arrived just before sunset. Hike in from Flume Visitor Center took a little over seven hours for the two of us with overnight packs and tent. |
