This hike is not for the faint of heart! Kedron was broken out but then a bit covered up from drifts, but still easy to follow along with the blue blazes. Just really steep and had to dig my snow shoes in in a few spots because I was sliding downhill. Track is still a bit of a monorail which made for awkward stepping. Ethan Pond and the part of Willey that I covered were even better broken out. I got a very late start and underestimated the steep incline so turned back before the summit and did some careful buttsliding on the way down. |
