 | Comments: |
Perfect snowshoe day. Gregg's Trail was mostly packed down with a layer of nice powder up until it's end at a platform overlook of Mount Monadnock and Skatukatee/Thumb mountains. no trail to speak of beyond that point but it was easy to break up through the meadows which had beautiful views all round. Snow was a little deeper in the hemlock forest past the Shannon's trail intersection but still a pretty easy hike. Turned around at the junction with the Bennington trail due to time constraints. Will definitely be back to try and bag the summit. |
