Sub zero at the start of the day. The Trails were packed out very nicely and I used micro spikes all the way up to South Kinsman. There were some drifts at the summit of south.
Switched to snowshoes after changing clothing at North Kinsman and wore across them all the way across the cannon balls to Cannon and down. Switched to micro spikes for the tower on cannon and the ladder on hi-cannon. Met Tanaka's (spelling?) group of 7 and 3 dogs coming across the cannon balls. The size of the group left the trail packed as nicely as you could ask. Bluebird day got some great pics! |
