| Comments: |
Started hiking at 7am. Lincoln Woods Trail was a highway. The trail was well-broken single-track from Black Pond to the summit. No navigation issues whatsoever. The snow got soft starting at the Black Pond bushwack so I switched to snowshoes. If the weather stays warm I'd recommend the same. There was one guy who came up the Franconia Brook Trail and said he had a hard time. Saw 12 other people out there. 8.5 hours parking lot to parking lot. |
