A beautiful, bluebird day on Cannon. Little wind, lots of sun, and a few inches of snow made for an enjoyable hike. The Hi-Cannon ladder had traces of ice and was easy to ascend with spikes. The summit tower was a little snowy, warm in the sun and busy with resting hikers. There were slippery rocks and boulders on the Lonesome Lake trail descending to the hut that made us slow down and be sure of footing. Running water under and alongside the snowy path caused some ice balls to form on the spikes, but they were easy to knock off with a trekking pole. Lonesome Lake hut was hopping. Wood stove was going full blast and it was a lovely place to stop for a rest and a snack. |
