 | Comments: |
Out & back from Oliverian Brook parking. Dry trails in lower elevations with a few wet, muddy areas. Higher up a mix of bare trail, slushy trail, packed, minimal snow and a few ice floes (mainly on Square Ledge steep section). We used microspikes for part of trip down but definitely not necessary. Waterproof footwear nice for quickened pace. Exceptional day out meeting 40+ hikers. |
