 | Comments: |
Dusting of snow towards the bottom. Put microspikes on part of the way up Hi-Cannon when there started to be ice. No issues on Hi-Cannon. No views but lots of wind from the tower! That one steep section down Lonesome Lake trail from Kinsman Ridge is gnarly and involved a lot of hanging on trees, but doable. Microspikes are a must. Not enough snow for snowshoes. Only a few short slushy sections where the trail is more of a stream. |
