| Comments: |
We went clockwise, hitting the East ledges first then down to the lot from the summit with a stop at Allen’s Ledge. The section branching to the East Ledges snowshoes were useless though not necessary. Snowshoes were overkill on the up and down summit section. When the warmer weather hits snowshoes will be the best option. There is still a lot of snow. Our shoe tracks meandered a bit on the east ledges as we had trouble staying right in the trail. You can follow either set of tracks, they all meet up shortly. |
