 | Comments: |
I got to break in the majority of the trail. There was about 3-4 inches on most of the trails up to Hancock Loop Trail. We went up North and down South. Weather was cold and windy. We were happy that we were below tree line for the hike.
There is definitely ice under the snow. Going up North, I needed to make sure I dig in with my snowshoe in spots. One of us slid down a bit while climbing. The ridge had some spots that were lightly covered with snow and some drifts that were some work. There were a few spots that I maybe didn’t choose the best way to get across. Going down South had some bare ice spots, was lightly covered in areas, and thicker covered in others so we slid down most of it. I was so happy to get back to Cedar Brook and where I had already trampled down.
Part of my group chose to turn around on North and slid down there.
Overall, a good day in the Whites! |
