Echo lake tr to Echo lake rd to High Meadow tr to Jack Frost tr to Summit returned Up Summit rd to Admin rd
Beautiful clear sunny day. Temps on the mid 50's with a slight breeze. Views from the top were spectacular. The view of Boston was exceptionally clear (best of the year.) Trail was a stable monotrack of snow and ice even with warm temps. There was parts of the trail that had running water from snow melt but easily avoidable. Microspikes did the trick with only about 4 post holes the entire hike. The upper summit rd and admin rd have been plowed and were wet but no ice. |
