 | Comments: |
All trails on the mountain are, or are almost, snow/ice free. The Barlow Trail was 100% free of snow and ice, but was quite wet in spots. The Rollins Trail had the most leftover snow/ice patches of any trail on the mountain, but nothing that you need microspikes to get around. Lincoln Trail had no snow or ice and was mostly dry. The Winslow Trail had a few minor snow/ice patches, but was otherwise wet in the upper part and relatively dry in the lower. Most rock ledge below the trees was wet, but nearly all open ledge above the trees was bone dry. |
