 | Comments: |
Trails are packed. Not much snow down low but we wore snowshoes all the way to South Kinsman. Switched to spikes on the return down Mt Kinsman trail. The snowshoeing improved just after the Bald peak spur. Maybe 4 inches of snow at the trailhead and a little over 2 feet on the ridge. If the snow softens snowshoes will be wanted for above 3500 feet. Fast trails today. |
