 | Comments: |
Great day on the trails today. Some traces of snow a bit above the hut, then more on the trail as we neared Kinsman Junction and beyond. We used light traction for part of the stretch between the peaks. We also noticed that some of the snow had melted on the return to North peak. Views were non existent earlier in the day, but the cloud cover lifted a bit on the return to the Mt Kinsman Trail junction where we had a nice view of Cannon and the lower levels of the Franconia Ridge. |
