Nice to get back out hiking after a long hiatus. Trails were well packed and fairly solid this morning. Spike were fine all day for us but snowshoes could be used as well. The boot packed trail started to get softer in the afternoon with some slushy spots near the bottom. Had it been a sunny day, snowshoes would have been necessary to avoid sinking in and destroying the trail. This was Scarlett's(age 4) number 12 for the Belknaps! |
