| Comments: |
Snowshoes from parking area to summit - thank you!
Once again, thank you to those who broke trail earlier this week and to those who set out ahead of us today. Met up with a number of hikers between Lafayette Campground and Lonesome Lake - most in snowshoes but some bare booting. Between Lonesome Lake and North/South Kinsman only seven other hikers including the two of us. Trail is well broken out - lets keep it that way. Some drifting between North and South Kinsman, but it was broken out before we got there - thanks guys! Note, Mt. Kinsman trail does not look like it has been touched, significant snowfall at the junction. |
