 | Comments: |
Bike trail has about 1-2" of frozen granular on it - closed to snowmobiles at the moment.
Bushwhack had about 1-2" of frozen granular on it.
Liberty Spring Trail had about 1-2" of frozen granular on it up to the water crossings. About a foot of frozen/loose granular at the campsites. 1-2 feet of frozen/loose granular in the trees up high (Franconia Ridge Trail). A few minor patches of ice here and there, but I was able to ascend and descend with ease without traction. Trail is well packed - no postholing. Water crossings no problem.
Franconia Ridge Trail to Mt. Flume was also well packed and barebootable without traction. Other than a little ice coming off Mt. Liberty, it was ice free. |
