Water Crossing Notes: On the pemi trail heading back to canon hiker parking, there is a water crossing with a wooden bridge like structure buried under snow next to profile lake. It's not a solid board, there appear to be slats (a guess) which means you can fall through them. Be very careful.

Comments
Comments: Kinsman ridge up to canon was broken out. We took lonesome lake down. The steep sections were difficult to descend while standing so we spent time butt sliding to get down. The trail was not fully broken out from the summit but now there's been traffic. The bike path back to canon hiker parking was a long slog and was not broke out.
