 | Comments: |
The trail to Bald Peak was perfect/flawless. All of the waterfalls are beautiful. On the way up to the Kinsmans, you will encounter a little running water on the trail, some thick mud and some black as well as blue ice spots. Did not use traction on the trail however there were multiple 100 yd sections of the upper portion of the trail that did still have ice. Easy enough to skirt around as long as you don't mind going into the scrub bush a bit. It was melting fast today! |
