Very wet trail overall. Patchy snow and ice made the final ascent to N Kinsman an exercise in caution. Microspikes were fine though, although you had to be careful of patches of icy snow letting go beneath your feet on the rocks. Very wet going over the Kinsman Ridge trail north of the junction with the bog bridges particularly treacherous. Again, microspikes took care of this and were used despite the lack of snow there.
All in all a beautiful day in the mountains, great views, quite warm with little wind. |
