Comments
Comments: plenty of conditions for this late season trail maintenance hike...FYI Speck Pond Shelter is no longer standing and will be rebuilt next spring, according to AMC sign posted at trailhead and also visual confirmation...! had to be careful on sloping, ice covered slabs and rocks, with some knee deep drifts up high...anywhere from 2-6 inches with drifts up high..
