Hancock Overlook was plowed but icey. My sticker was expired but wasn't sure if I had to pay at the fee box or not. I chose not to pay and returned with no ticket on my windshield. WMNF rangers must be off during NH vacation week!! |

 | Comments: |
Leave the snowshoes in the car and wear spikes. Trail is completely hard packed except for a few sections along the ridge. We ascended North Hancock, which had alright steps kicked in along the way. Descending South Hancock was quick as someone had butt-slid most of the way. Two of us chose to stand during the descent and one butt-slid and said it was excellent. It took us less than 15 minutes to descend South Hancock.
Good day out with Summerset and KRobi. |
