 | Comments: |
This unmaintained trail is in better shape than many maintained. 4" of snow down low but lots on top. We snowshoed the whole way. Rocks are covered though down low they throw off your balance.
Up above, from Kilkenny Ridge over to summit we really worked with lots of snow and drifting. After stopping at cabin we headed to summit. From South Peak we wandered a bit but refound the trail. Follow the main set (if the wind doesn't obscure them). True winter descent which was FAST! Great day out with Beth and Karen. |
