| Comments: |
Great afternoon hike. Put the spikes on to descend from Middle Mtn to the junction with Peaked Mtn. Could have worn them up. Could be done both ways with bare boots but the spikes made the descent much quicker and safer. There were some steep icy spots. The trail Peaked Mtn and down were fine with bare boots. Nice views from both peaks. Through in the loop of Puddin Pond as well (nice low level hike/walk). Perfect finish to a great day. |
