 | Comments: |
Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail trail was very hard packed, and we used our "sharp" Hillsounds from start to finish for this hike. Conditions to Monroe, were very much the same.
There was minimal snow drifting to summit, but not enough to merit snowshoes.
Following the Cog Service road down was a great idea, and my first time ever going down that way, Once down about 1/2 mile, and actually on the service road, it was in awesome shape, and a shorter route down, and much safer with the near White Out conditions on the summit |
