At 9AM, we already saw a lot of people parked along Route 302 to hike the various summits aroung AMC Highland center. We started on Avalon trail up to A-Z trail and reached the summit of Mount Tom with snowshoes, but could have used micro-spikes. Not many postholes yet, which will change during the upcoming week due to warmer weather. Stunning view of Mount Washington at the top and we met a lot of people going up as we were returning down at the car. We had 2 dogs with us and they had a blast. |
