The trail was in awesome shape.
I completed bare booted to the Lincoln Woods trail, but with all the wind blown snow on trail it was much better traction with snowshoes and wore them up the Brutus Bushwhack for use of the “Lifters” and great being in them also on the Owls Head head path as snow drifts of 2 feet. We took them off back at the Lincoln Woods trail and bare booted out
Of the 17 young people we saw today, only 4 even had carried snowshoes, the rest were in spikes start to finish. Although presently a nice snowshoe path again. An awesome day to get this peak for my over 70 winter list |
