| Comments: |
Work crews on Lonesome Lake Trail from campground to lake. Snow free and mostly dry.
Lonesome Lake Trail from lake to Kinsman Ridge Trail - You can hike this without touching any snow/ice (there were a few tiny tiny patches in up high).
Kinsman Ridge Trail to Northeast Cannonball - Snow free, no blowdowns.
Kinsman Ridge Trail from Lonesome Lake Trail to Cannon Mountain - monorail in the col (can walk alongside), some patchy ice in the rocky areas, and a few small patches of ice/monorail above the Hi-Cannon junction. Some rocky areas still a bit slippery. I was able to bareboot.
Around-The-Lake Trail from Lonesome Lake Trail to hut - snowfree, a little mucky in places.
Cascade Brook Trail from hut to Lonesome Lake Trail - some patches of snow/ice, but barebootable.
Lots of piles of boards around the lake - apparently a massive logwalk replacement project will be taking place soon. |
