 | Comments: |
Main Trail ascending to summit, Main Trail and Brook Trail descending back to parking lot
Excellent hike with perfect weather. One short icy section on Brook Trail, easily manageable with light traction or by going around. Carried snowshoes and tried them in a few spots but microspikes were the better option today due to the number of exposed rocks and the well-travelled trail. Ascended the steeper Main Trail and descended the flatter Brook Trail for an easier hike. Gaiters were helpful due to the loose powder adjacent to the packed trail. |
