 | Comments: |
Mt. Kinsman trail had a couple inches of fresh powder from the start. Towards the top snow was drifted about 10 inches deep in the trail. Hiking solo I had to break trail until the ridge. Someone caught up to me just after that though so more packing of the snow was done. Kinsman Ridge trail was hard snow or packed |
