 | Comments: |
I hiked in this order: Liberty spring trail -> Franconia ridge -> Flume side trail. Liberty spring trail was in excellent condition, easy with snowshoes. Franconia was also in great shape and easy with snowshoes. Flume side was in less than desirable shape for snowshoes and my spikes did nothing in the loose unpacked powder. If you like going down on a sled it would be great fun. About halfway down that trail it became great for snowshoes again. |
