 | Comments: |
Beautiful bluebird day, mild temperatures even up high. We did an out and back on the Bucklin Trail to Killington Peak. Trail was dry down low, patches snow higher, and a small icy section below the summit. We left the spikes in the bag, but they could be useful for the last .2 miles, esp on the descent. It was warm today, I don't know how much longer the ice will last. |
