We had a very beautiful sunrise hike, out and back via Gorge Brook (it was too cold for the ridge walk loop to Carriage Road). Trail conditions are wicked-fast with the cold temperatures , rock spikes were sufficient, and our snowshoes took a free ride. When it warms up tomorrow it may be problematic as the upper elevation trees are still laden with snow and ice. I would recommend raingear (for the snowbombs) and snowshoes (for mashed potato snow) if you are hiking in the warm temperatures forecasted for Saturday. |
