Great day red-lining with Cath. Trail was broken out all the way up to Caribou. Heading down the rest of the Caribou Mountain Trail we were on our own. Snow was pretty firm and we were just breaking through the crust. Wore microspikes on the Route 113 road portion. Switched back to snowshoes as we headed up to Haystack Notch and down the other side. Thanks for a great hike Cath! |
