 | Comments: |
I went counter clockwise; no problems going up but the hike down from North Hancock was tough. The snow wasn't deep enough (2-4 inches) so you couldn't see the ice. Was using Hillsounds but slipped numerous times which made it slow going. From South Hancock to North, I followed a moose track all the way along the trail. |
