 | Comments: |
A few slick spots to watch out for on Zealand Road later in day. Hale Brook Tr. was mostly dry up to the brook crossings. Ice and packed wet snow increased from here. Used microspikes from crossings and above to speed up hike. Ice was soft and worn spikes worked well. With colder temps trail will be quite icy up higher. |
