Comments
Comments: Trail dry. Many short switchbacks on the first half of the trail very eroded. Lots of rock scrambles and glacial erratics to maneuver past on the second half, with one ladder to traverse ledge. great views of the Franconia Ridge area after the ladder. Steep back down the Lonesome Lake trail, but dry. Easy to miss the trail sign at Coppermine Col showing the split for Kinsman Ridge trail and Lonesome Lake trail, be observant. Nice hike.
