 | Comments: |
The Fishing Jimmy Tr and the Kinsman Ridge Tr have seen a lot of activity since the last snow -- these trails are packed and micro spikes are good enough for the conditions. The Kinsman Pond Tr requires snowshoes - it looked like only one other group had hiked the Kinsman Pond Tr before today. All trails were wet and muddy/slushy - bring extra socks:) |
