Another beautiful day in the Whites with my daughter!
Still a lot of snow at higher elevations. We put on our microspikes going up Blueberry Ledge just as it started getting steep and didn't take them off until 1/3 of the way down Dicey's Mill. I wouldn't recommend this hike without some sort of traction.
The snow on Rollins was significant. Continuous monorail. Plenty of opportunities for post-holing if you didn't stay right on top. Glad I hike with poles - they really helped today. |
