| Comments: |
Great hike initially used light traction but about 1/2 way up put on Snowshoes for the rest of the hike. Rollins Trail well packed down.
Hiked an out and return hike to summit Mount Whiteface. Avoided Blueberry Ledge Trail because of us hiking with the dogs. We were concerned about the steepness and ice for the dogs although saw a hiker coming down who had hiked the ledge trail with their dog and stated he did okay. |
