Comments
Comments: My goal was a loop up to the Bluff and over the Osgood Connector and back. Goal achieved!! I put on microspikes about 0.25 miles past where Osgood Trail breaks off from the Great Gulf Trail, in the area where the water is really running down the rocky trail and ice is an issue. I left them on for the loop and only took them off when I was back down Great Gulf nearly to the suspension bridge (I had been too lazy to take them off prior to that point!!). I had my snowshoes but they were not needed.
