Packed powder all the way to the top and back, so snowshoes didn't come out. One icy sheet near the top of Fishin' Jimmy convinced me to put on the crampons, but didn't need them anywhere else. Generally the trails were really smooth, especially lower on the mountain. Large Wednesday hiking group from Conway up from Mt. Kinsman side. Besides that a couple hiking pairs and one other solo near top. Tons of people below Lonesome Lake, looked like a summer weekend. |
