We went up the Mt Flagg trail to the summit from Merrowvista then over Gorilla trail through the hobbit forest to Carriage and Mt Shaw then over to Black Snout and down to Tate (Big Ball) for our final peak of the day before exiting on the Band-aid trail to the parking lot with Bill S and Bob S and Stanley the wonder dog. Excellent day we used no traction, there were some spots that had ice which was avoidable.
Stanley's 45th ascent of Flagg and Shaw. Dramatic views of the Sandwich Range. High peaks to the north were hidden in cloud. Temps dropped through the day and winds picked up. Trails are in great condition but where is the snow? |
