| Comments: |
Microspikes were needed up Falling Waters at around 4,000 feet until the summit of Little Haystack, then took them off for the remainder of the hike. Snow from treeline to Greenleaf Hut on Greenleaf Trail, spikes not needed for the hike down. Overall amazing day to be out on the Ridge |
