Great Boxing Day Hike! Mt Kinsman Trail was well tracked out as was Kinsman Ridge Trail to North Kinsman. No tracks, except for a bunny, to South Kinsman. Broke trail in about 1 foot of powder to South Kinsman. On the way back met a couple who had hiked in from Lafayette Campground. Behind them were a group of 7 so trails from RT116 and Lafayette Campground to South Kinsman are well packed out. All for not I suspose with the forecasted storm for tonight. |
