Great trail to dodge the hussle and bussle of the Notch side. Great for dogs as ice is shallow and trail isn't very steep. No blowdowns or lost items or trash! People who use this trail get it.
Busy on the ridge with partial undercast views. Nice to see the sun.
Snowpack was 2 inches at the parking lot and 12" on the ridge with a few drifts. Spikes were great, crampons and snowshoes would have been overkill.
Bald Peak was a nice stop over for some sun and views. All friendly folks out today taking in one more 2021 hike. Cheers! |
