Comments
Comments: 19 Mile Brook Trail packed out sidewalk to the height of land. Microspikes were the perfect footware. Ascent to A a well packed out trail as well and spikes were adequate even for the steeps as there was no ice in this section. Trail from A to D well packed out..a few small icy spots but most ledges filled in and very quick and easy hiking today.


Breezy and cold in spots around the Notch and on A but the ridge was gorgeous and we lingered in the sun in a few spots. Great day out with Valerie, Ali, and Tim. Congrats to Valerie for round 6 and Tim for round 8 finishes today on A. Really a gorgeous winter day on the trails though it was evident that there was wind across the way in the Presidentials
