Today was a perfect day for The Moose. I took the classic trip of Gorge Brook, Carriage Road, and Snapper trail. After 3300 feet, you are still dealing with rotten snow and a "monorail" in quotes because it's easy to get around it. I believe that this will be gone by Memorial Day weekend. The summit is bare and we actually had a view today. A quick trip for us. We were at the summit before noon (after starting at 7:30am). Snapper is clear of snow. All in all a great day on the trails. |
