 | Comments: |
Used my tracks from Cushman the other day, no other traffic has ventured down Hubbard Brook Trail. These cold mornings made my snowshoe tracks rock solid, becoming soft in the PM sun.
Bushwhack up Mt Kineo so I departed HBT about 1.2mi and gained/followed the northern ridge. Lots and lots of fresh moose activity up there.
Great bit of a stay on the summit, few minor lookouts, mostly easterly.
As always, there is a brief write up on my website with photos and details, to which I'll leave the link below. Enjoy!
Happy Climbing! |
