Comments
Comments: Adrian and I planned on getting 2 of the 52 WAV. We used Hillsounds the entire hike. Our snowshoes just took a ride. Firm snow base with loose surface. Wonalancet Range cut off had ice which required some bushwhacking. Stopped to take in the views around Hibbard. We planned on hiking Walden to Square Ledge Trail, however just passed the col on Walden we lost the trail. No blazes and no indication of where the trail went and ledges with ice so we headed back up Walden and over to Old Mast Rd. Encountered icy drops going down Walden which required some bushwhacking.
All in all a great day to be outside.
