 | Comments: |
Snowshoes were not needed today. We went up and back via the Bunnell trail. The trail was well packed until the hut. Between the hut and the summit there was deeper snow which would post hole if you went off the packed path. The were two areas where the packed path was not the true trail but it was easy to follow. We ran into 2 people who said they were planning to do the loop so, if they were successful, the rest of the loop may have been broken out. |
