Started a little after 2pm and hit Kinsman Flume and Bald Peak on the way up. The flume trail is pretty muddy right now in spots. Any mud spots on Kinsman Trail can be rock hopped. The crossings can all be rock hopped. Monorail starts around 3600 feet. Some patchy parts left just below that can be bare booted around. Slow moving monorail with it’s current condition. Started going for South Kinsman but with the slow moving monorail did some math and didn’t want to be descending Norths monorail in a headlamp. Bugs were not bad at all |
