 | Comments: |
The lower part of the nineteen mile brook trail is doable with just microspikes, but snowshoes are a must higher up. Some postholing. There is a little bit of ice near the parking lot, and a few places where a wrong step could land someone in the drink. The ridge was no particular problem. There were a few places heading west from C to D that were appropriate for butt-sliding. |
