 | Comments: |
the winter parking lot near Underhill state park was in great condition. It's about 1 mile to the closed gate and another .2 miles to the start of the eagle cut trail. The trails were well packed, we used micro spikes the whole way. Snowshoes were not necessary but the heel lifts would have come in handy. No real need for crampons above tree line, the spikes had enough traction. |
