 | Comments: |
Conditions were surprisingly good. Very little snow except for up high in the Kinsmans and near the peak of Cannon. Easy to step around the snow and ice. A fair amount of water, particularly in the Cannon Balls, but nothing horrible and again easy to hop around. Clouds were in and out on the peaks. All in all a magnificent hiking day! |
