 | Comments: |
Microspikes are really necessary on 19-Mile Brook now -- ice all over the rocks and in large sections of trail. We left behind snowshoes and wore the microspikes all the way up towards Hight. (Decided to turn around when we realized there would be no views on top due to weather today). At Zeta and summits beyond it's about 1.5'-2' deep, so snowshoes might be helpful and remember to put baskets on your hiking poles. But the trails are in great shape, easily followed. |
