 | Comments: |
Mt. Kinsman trail is in excellent condition up to about 3100 feet where it changes to the usual eroded steeper slope. Kinsman ridge trail is also in good shape. Water and mud in the usual places, but not bad for May. There is a mono"ridge" on the approach to South Kinsman which is easily avoided. I brought micro spikes but didn't need them. |
