 | Comments: |
Mostly wet trails with some dry spots. Any standing water was easily passable. Trails turned into streams at some points, especially coming down Piper towards carriage road. Some mud pits but all easily passable. The worst mud was at a trail intersection with a picnic table between Gunstock and Belknap.
Zero snow or ice on the trails. Some very small patches spotted in the woods. No traction necessary.
Orange trail up to Gunstock was harder than I imagined. Steep up with no warm up. Not steep enough to require hands, but I was surprised at the difficulty. |
