 | Comments: |
Minimal mud given earlier week rains and spring conditions. Trace ice at about 0.3 mi up/ascending the Blue Trail to Belknap, and on the White Trail descending Belknap at about 0.4 mi down from the summit and about 0.1 before the first of the two ledges overlooking Sweet Mtn and Piper. Some mud on descent of White Tr. to upper Carriage Road, but minor all considered.
Sprinkle-rains as we climbed/descended Belknap but never got more than that.
Always such a great trek and perfect for my taking-forever hamstring tear rehab. plan.
