 | Comments: |
The Ladder Trail was mostly dry, with a few wet spots. Schiff Path had a lot of ice- light traction could be used here. The descent off Dorr was icy as well. The rest of the hike was far less icy.
Thanks to Chad P. for a fun day in Acadia National Park! Great views, challenging terrain, and nice weather! |
