 | Comments: |
Well-packed and solid (suitable for spikes) until the bald peak spur; trail was still very well broken out afterwards up to the KRT and across to South Kinsman, but the top layer was much softer powder. Spikes are doable on the section but snowshoes were more comfortable and did not churn the trail nearly as much. |
