| Comments: |
Microspikes on Lincoln Woods Trl, then snowshoes on the entirety of Osseo Trail. Mainly 2-3 inches of loose, unconsolidated snow on top of packed trail, with 4-6 inches of loose snow atop pack at higher elevations. Drifts of blown snow over trail approaching Flume summit. Gully crossing near summit in Franconia Ridge Trail is tricky, possibly risky: please USE CAUTION. Overall a very satisfying winter hike. |
