| Comments: |
Spikes door to door, though I brought snowshoes just in case. No post-holing, though Fishin' Jimmy Trail had a lot of slushy parts between the hut and the turn off for Kinsman Pond shelter and campsite. Dodge Cutoff and the lower part of Hi-Cannon weren’t stable monorails yet, though the top part of Hi-Cannon was well packed out. Kinsman Ridge Trail down Cannon looked well packed when I passed by. |
