 | Comments: |
The route up Blueberry Ledge went from an icy dusting on the road in to crusty icy spots on the ledges. Microspikes worked great from top to bottom. Temps were mid 20's with very little wind. No views as it lightly snowed the whole time.
The McCrillis trail to Intervale was tough to follow but not impossible if following the obvious gaps in the trees. Blazing was scarce. As noted above the bridge over the Whiteface River is out and right now the river is high. |
