 | Comments: |
Mostly dry trail with only a couple of occasional wet sections. After summitting Cannon we went past the three Cannonballs and then went back via Lonesome Lake. Most of the heavy mud is on Kinsman Ridge Trail near the Cannonballs, at least of the trail we covered today - a few sections were hard to avoid. Great weather day - we didn't see any flags, but descended past the flag carrier around 11am (who had been blocked by a full lot initially) on our way down from the summit. Lots of people out, but barely anyone was on Hi-Cannon which was A-Ok by us. |
