 | Comments: |
I did Falling Waters first, not knowing exactly what the trail would be like. Was pleasantly surprised because it was hard packed and pretty smooth for the most part; it was also fast with Hillsounds. I did take them off to climb Lincoln because the trail was more rock than ice. Put Hillsounds back on to go over to Lafayette and wore them to the end. My snowshoes went for a ride, however, I could see using them if it had been a bit warmer. A great am to be out- warm and sunny with no wind. Amazing. |
