| Comments: |
Unexpected overnight snow made this hike a lot better, covering up a lot of the logging operations around these trails. We brought light traction but never needed it. LOTS of flagging of all colors along the route, signage was decent (except for the start of White Trail), though much of it is set back from the actual junctions. Good views from near Cabot and from several viewpoints along the way to Ingalls. Checked out Ray's Pond before heading down and out. Thanks to Ashley, Whitney, and Chris for a great day! |
