 | Comments: |
Lonesome Lake tr is like a super-fast highway - well packed down with good coverage.
Fishin' Jimmy and Kinsman Ridge are less consolidated and there are some drifts but with several hikers on the trails they should now be reasonably consolidated.
Steve C and I bare-booted comfortably all the way - others may prefer to use snowshoes and/or some traction.
Only small amounts of ice here and there.
The Hi-Cannon appears to have been traveled. No sign of any recent activity on the Kinsman Ridge tr. towards Cannon Mtn. |
