Great day for this hike (#2). Put on the snowshoes around 1600' on Drakes Brook Tr - was fairly solid up to the junction. Only saw one small group really struggling without snowshoes on Drakes Brook Trail. Along the ridge to the summit the trail was BADLY postholed. Trail fairly solid for snowshoeing down to around 2400' on Sandwich Mtn Trail. Great day with AWESOME views!!! |
