 | Comments: |
The road walk and both the Winslow and Barlow trails were well packed down from bottom to top, either by snowmobiles (road) or by hikers (trails). I comfortably wore light traction the whole time. Temps were in the teens all day, but there was little to no wind, and the summit had excellent views, particularly toward the snow-draped White Mountains. |
