 | Comments: |
Well established snowshoe track. The path below the snow covered ledges was rock hard. From the ledges to the summit there was a few inches of unconsolidated snow on a hard base. There were postholes on the margins of the snowshoe track in places that were not troublesome. I used snowshoes from start to finish to avoid any damage to the trail. Many hikers were using microspikes and did not appear to damage the trail today. I took off the snowshoes with traction to climb the wood stairs of the fire tower. No ice on trail.
Great views today. Met the MOAC (Maine Outdoor Adventure Club)group. |
