Comments
Comments: Terrific afternoon hike after a full morning snowboarding at Cannon :) Only went to ridge lookout/rock pile/top trail junction to peer into the Pemi Wilderness. Quite blustery there. Light Traction the way to go until more snow or it warms up. Large section of deep postholes about a mile from the ridge - some of those were from moose. Carried snowshoes just-in-case and thought about putting them on for the televators about halfway up to the ridge. Always a pleasant trail!!!!
