 | Comments: |
the trail had been broken nicely, but was not really packed out. with the southern exposure the snow was quickly becoming wet and a little sticky. some drifting in of the track up high. the herd path to the northeast view ledges from the summit is broken out as well.
i wore snowshoes the whole hike.
a very nice summit. another one of those peaks i had never made it up before so i took full advantage of the beautiful day to check it out. beautiful hardwoods for much of the hike and fantastic views from the summit ledges and other ledges nearby. a little brisk with the wind on top.
