 | Comments: |
Took the Hi-Cannon up to the ridge, then the Kinsman ridge trail to Cannon, then headed down the Lonesome Lake trail. I wore microspikes the entire time, and didn't have any problems with postholes or falling through- but there is an inch or so of new powder sitting on top of the monorail, so a few snowshoers would probably do the trail some good. The trail down Kinsman Ridge trail to Lonesome lake is pretty smoothed out from butt-sliders, and definitely requires some caution if descending that way. All in all a great day. |
