 | Comments: |
Muddy start to Owl's Head Trail before getting reasonably steep for a challenging but fun climb. No ice on trail until past Owl's Head summit as we made our way across Martha's Mile to Mount Martha. However, the microspikes stayed in the bag as it was brief and avoidable. I imagine the snow and ice will be gone by the end of the week. For more info & pictures check out my link. |
