Comments
Comments: A perfect day to do the 10 mile trek to South Kinsman. I alternated between microspikes and snowshoes as the conditions were variable. Very mushy past the junction with Kinsman Pond Trail. I did see a few people without microspikes, I don't know how they manage to hike back down since even with them, it was difficult sometimes. Overall, a great day to be out on the mountains. Copper is halfway done with his list, soon to join Dali and have his patch.
