First on the trail this morning. It appeared a solo hiker, I’m assuming on Monday, broke trail with the new snow (thank you to whoever that was! I’ve been sick with this forever cold and have broken Hancock before and struggled doing it so I was dreading having to do it again). I was also solo so I cleaned it up some.
While climbing up North summit, a man caught up with me and passed and broke in the other half of the trail for me over to South-which was much appreciated. On the descent there were a good amount of people heading in (mixture of spikes/shoes) so things should be nicely packed down after today.
Back on Cedar Brook and the Notch trail at exit things looked good enough for just spikes but I would suggest snowshoes for elevations above 3000 |
