 | Comments: |
It was a perfect day to be out in the Whites and the trail is in great condition. Passed more than a dozen others on this trail alone and saw another dozen on the summit. Popular day on Moosilauke! Everyone was in Microspikes, which were helpful in sections. The snow was clumping in mine so I ditched them for the decent and just bare booted all of it. A few hikers had tramped out the closed section of the trail, then either cut over or came back. Someone helpfully put some sticks up in an X to discourage others from doing the same. |
