 | Comments: |
The Stone House road walk was quite icy and snow covered. I didn’t use spikes on my way in but put them on for the exit. Shell Pond Loop trail still largely covered with spring snow, but not very deep. I was fine in trail runners. Shell Pond Trail was more bare ground. Easy walking. Heard ice crashing down from the ledges and saw some rock climbers on the ledges. |
