| Comments: |
dry at the parking lot, the old road past the cistern had a few muddy spots which were hiding under the leaves. Snow on the trail once the conifer line was reached. All the snow was hardpack. Microspikes helped with footing, but many on the trail were bare-booting. Great view of the snow capped Presidential Range. |
