Great little walk in the woods with a little over 1,000 feet of elevation. I bare booted until the summit trail and then switched to spikes as it felt like I was walking in beach sand most of the way. Probably would've benefited from snowshoes but I left them in the car based on the amount of snow in the lot - overall it was a great day - summit was in the clouds unfortunately. |
