We started about 8:15, and there were already quite a few who had started ahead of us. We crossed paths with 5 others, all in spikes, and 3 on fat bikes! Always great to see Bluecollar4khiker out on the trails :) Trail was nicely packed and firm, we wore Hillsounds start to finish. There was some drifting in between Starr King and Waumbek, and quite a lot from about 50 feet before the summit and to the view point beyond the summit. On our descent the trail started getting busy, so perhaps by the end of the day this part of trail was able to get packed down. |
