One major blowdown just below Bunnell Notch that has been limbed and could be difficult for a short hiker. The increasing snow depth should help. It'll take a significant effort to remove this one. |

Looked for lost iPhone near the summit but there's a foot of snow up high and no sign of it. I'm afraid that won't be found until April or May. |

 | Comments: |
Pleasant bare boot hike the first mile and a half, then an annoying changing shoulder season mix of snow, ice bare ground and running water until just above Bunnell Rock. Thena nice snowshoe trench to the summit where I used my snowshoes. Some people used spikes and did fine but after the next storm it'll be snowshoes most of the way. |
