| Comments: |
Up Gorge Brook, down Carriage Road to Snapper to Gorge Brook.
MicroSpikes helped near the top. One tall drift on way to true summit. Snowshoes helped as we worked south and will preserved the AT, Carriage Road, and Snapper Trails for skiers. Evidence of two skiers to summit yesterday.
Snowshoe hare prints, but no bobcat prints. At least one moose left its tracks on our way up, half a mile from the top. |
