Beginning of Hi-Cannon trail was snow covered but good climbing. Just above the junction with the Dodge cut-off there is a flat area that has had alot of fresh moose activity. The ladder was ice covered but doable. There were a couple of spots high up before the Kinsman Ridge trail that were extremely icy. Multiple "fall to the road" looking slabs. No recent traffic up from Lonesome Lake or the Hi-Cannon trail. Tram building wasn't open on Sunday and didn't look like it had been in awhile. I noticed some tracks headed down a ski slope and I decided to follow. Maybe they were actually parked at the bottom. Thanks for the ride back to my car!! |
