Overall nice trail conditions with lot ice and packed frozen snowpack. Few places on northern section had enough loose power that snowshoes def will help and should be used. Majority milages was on microspikes (saw some wore full crampons...but overkill and not best option in high wind, imo)
Windy day with steady wind around 60mph or more at few places. Temporature maybe 10-15F with wind chill lot lower.
10 presidents done from sunrise-sunset... Appalachia TH via ValleyWay up, Jackson-webster trail down. Great day out in Whites. |
