| Comments: |
Great day out. Wore leather hikers but this could easily be done in low hikers. Some snow on top of Gunstock. The Yellow Trail from Gunstock was wet but not too bad down to the col between GS and Belknap. Blue Trail up to Belknap had a bit of packed snow/ice but it was avoidable. Some snow/ice on the top area of the White Trail from Belknap but it was the last we saw. Great job of putting up new signs and fresh blazes by the BRATTS.
