 | Comments: |
The road walked was easy and there was minimal ice pack on Zealand Road. Once on the Hale Brook trail, it was hard packed with a few icy spots. We used snowshoes to the summit and spikes on the way down. Didn't see anyone on Hale all day but did run into a few that spent the night at Zealand Hut. Great to be out for fresh air today. |
