| Comments: |
Bring snowshoes and spikes as the road is an ice skating rink up to the Bethlehem water supply turn and then hard consolidated snow all the way to the summit, a massive group packed out the Lend-a-hand Tr today, but Hale Brook Tr is partially broken out assessing it from the summer trailhead. I spent a very wet, cold, windy night camped on the summit and the only person I saw was the hut caretaker. |
