| Comments: |
The trail is very hard packed. Wore spikes from truck to the other side of Nancy Pond. Switched to shoes. Moderate to easy woods the entire trip. Crossed a few minor bumps close to the recognized summit. Switched back to spikes at the pond. Hounds had excellent purchase on the steeps. The K-10's went for a ride. |
