| Comments: |
Out and back to Welch Mountain for sunset. Trail was a frozen granular solid sidewalk. Snowshoed the whole thing - minimal exposed ledge. A few small patches of blue ice...Microspikes would have been adequate. Things could soften up in warmer temperatures though, especially in the col, so snowshoes may not be a bad idea depending upon the forecast. |
