 | Comments: |
These two Kins of White Mountains are; Packed powder from ridge trail to car; Up high drifts/dusting and some ice a crusting, On both Kinsmans near and far.
Oh oh oh, trail of winter; trail of snow; boy how we wish that you won't go; Rain, refreeze and trail to cheese; How we wish the rain was a whole lotta snow;
Microspikes or hiker snowshoes; Doesn't matter which one you choose; The trek on the trail was all sun and no gale; It took you to incredible views.
Happy Holidays Hikers!! (PSA: hikers from Fishin Jimmy said ice flows were real sketchy. They were seeking alternate trek back. Another hiker came over from the High Cannon - he was tired. Great chatting with many hikers on this fantastic day.)
