Comments
Comments: Still very low levels of snow for this time of year. Trails are covered ok but rocks still lurk right underneath in spots. Snow is packed below treeline, styrofoam above treeline with some drifts here and there where you punch through at times but it's very minimal. There was no need for snowshoes and light traction worked fine. Snowfield on Jefferson was easy and is a non issue right now. Some parts of Randolph Path are tracked out lightly, all other trails have seen lots of use. Other than that it was a heck of a morning to catch sunrise from the Presidential Range :)
