 | Comments: |
Lots of wet trail at the bottom, followed by ice and slush, with sticky snow up above 3600’. Snowshoes won’t help; wore microspikes the whole way. Considerable melting down low by midday. Trail past the Waumbek summit is not broken out, so it’ll be tough continuing on the Kilkenney Range Trail if that’s your plan. |
