 | Comments: |
I used MicroSpikes on the Mt Langdon Trail where the surface was hard. In the Oak Hill - Parker col I put on the snowshoes as the existing track disappeared with drifted snow. I kept the snowshoes on for the remainder of the hike. There is now a decent snowshoe track on the Mt Parker Trail. Good views from summit of Mt Parker and from the open hardwood forest slopes. Saw no other hikers. |
