After a long (but fun) hike to Owl's Head the day before it was nice to do this "easy" trail as a fast solo hike to get the OH bushwhack kinks out. Trail in good condition, used light traction up to Star King, and HH Pro crampons from there back to the car--no traction or light traction would have worked the whole way too, but would have been slower. Nice to have met Trish, and her amazing young daughters, who have completed the winter 48 before age 9--wow. |
