| Comments: |
Winslow tr was pretty icy, with ice flows from all the rain. Micro-spikes worked great. Wouldn't do it without traction. Top of the Mtn. is a sheet of ice. Barlow trail is doable without traction, enough people have broken trough the crust. Lots of peoples & pets on the trails. Great southern NH hike. |
