It was a great day out on the well packed trails. We left our snowshoes in the car and never regretted it. We never saw another hiker, though we did see fresh boot tracks coming from Passaconaway on Rollins Trail. The hiker must have continued on the Kate Sleeper trail, which was well packed out by a group that did the Tripyramids to Passaconaway traverse the day before. Though we did use light traction one could have barebooted it.
Thanks Per for a great day on the trails and adding two more peaks to our attempt to finish the 48 in one season. |
