 | Comments: |
Snow depth was patches at the base with 8 to 12 inches on the Ridge. Recommend smaller snowshoes if you have them. The trail will be chewed up by booters today as the snow changes to spring like snow.
Was a plesent hike to Waumbek seeing 3 gray Jay's, 2 other hikers and a spruce grouse in an evergreen. On the way down.... 58 hikers were making their way up and rapidly softening trail. |
