Got started around 9:15 and headed up the Lonesome Lake Trail. The trail was pretty packed in by the time I did it. Lonesome lake frozen over with trails across the lake. Fishin' Jimmy trail had some steep sections near the top that benefitted from an ice axe. Crampons may be helpful for those who are concerned with traction. Kinsman Ridge Trail also had a few steep sections, but were mostly rock underneath.
Beautiful views from the top of both Kinsmans, and 0 wind at the summit. What a day to be out!
Kinsman Ridge would probably be perfect for sledding right now! |
