 | Comments: |
Trails were well-packed and great with just spikes for the whole day. This was a beautiful loop with lots of little view points and clearings to enjoy the sunshine! The only icy spots were coming off of Gunstock towards Belknap where some skiers have scraped all the snow away, but sharp spikes still gripped fine and it’s not especially steep. There are some ledges just past the summit of Piper that are worth checking out too. |
