| Comments: |
The trail was very icy from just below the ledges to the summit. The going was made more challenging by a thin layer of loose powder which hid the ice. The snow storm should remedy the difficulties posed by the icy surfaces.
There were many hikers on the trail today. There were seven humans and one canine in the fire tower. One of the hikers ascended via the Weeks Brook Trail. |
