Good track, let's keep it that way. A few postholes here and there. We wore our shoes, but many did fine with spikes, but as we're getting toward that time where postholes are easily made, I would make sure to have your snowshoes with you. Besides, if you need to step off trail, you'll be glad you have them.
We went counterclockwise. Summit views are good, but as anyone who'se been there knows, the slightly lower ledges to the east have better. Despite the snowpack, Nutting Hill has no views. |
