Comments
Comments: The first 2.4 miles of the trail was relatively dry with the 1.6 miles to the ridge being wet/slushy. Roughly 0.6 miles after the junction, it was all slushy snow. There is a little monorail here and there but for the most part, you had to be careful where you would step otherwise the post-holes were waist deep. Heading up to North Kinsman and some portions of South Kinsman required traction.
