This morning I started out on spikes up the road and remained in them until I reached the Bunnell Notch Trail sign at which point I swapped them out for snowshoes. With the unseasonably warm temperatures today, I kept the snowshoes on all day and despite that, still found myself trying to stick to the packed insides of the trail as bearing off just even a tad off resulted in a side step sinking into the snow. The trail is a hiking highway at the moment and if it gets cold, spikes all the way might do but with these temperatures, snowshoes are my personal preference. |
