 | Comments: |
Great day for a hike. Monorail was fairly consistent from a bit below Lonesome Lake. Despite the warmth the monorail was mostly stable and made for easy travel. Carried snowshoes but did not use them. Mid-day sun had the trees dripping consistently and dropping ice all around. Beautiful views from both peaks today. Saw some campers at Kinsman Pond platforms and by report there were three in the shelter last night. |
