Comments
Comments: Great hike today up to North and South Kinsman and met a lot of hikers today. The Kinsman trail was icy at the bottom and loose granular snow on the upper part of it. The Kinsman Ridge trail was also loose granular as well and used micro-spikes up to North Kinsman then switched to snowshoes to the South Kinsman and the return trip back until the bottom section of Kinsman trail when it turned to ice and mud and switched back to micro-spikes to the parking lot.
